Read, “The Eiken Test, Investigation.”<\/p>\n

The author had 168 students of his students take the test. He analyzed the reliability and validity of the test. The author calculated the reliability at 82%. He considered it low.<\/p>\n

Ted learned the primary criteria for evaluating tests: reliability and validity. A test is valid if it measures what it claims to measure. The researcher investigated the validity by<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. comparing the level of the test to the level of students it was testing.<\/li>\n
  2. considering whether or not the content reflected “daily life in Japan” as the test claims.<\/li>\n
  3. considering whether the items really measure the abilities that they claim to.<\/li>\n
  4. considering whether there are poorly constructed test items.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Result: CBI is effective for improving students’ attitudes and abilities.<\/p>\n
