Which of the following is not a method of reliability ?
Content
Reliability is the consistency of test scores. Its standard methods are:
Test-retest: the same test is given twice to the same group and the scores are correlated – a reliability method.
Split-half: the test is divided into two halves (e.g. odd and even items) and the halves are correlated – a reliability method.
Parallel form: two equivalent forms of the test are given and correlated – a reliability method.
Content refers to content validity, which checks whether the test covers the area it should measure; it is a type of validity, not reliability.
Hence, the answer is Content.
For detecting errors in teaching-learning process, the appropriate data collection tool will be .......... .

(i) Mostly provide qualitative data.
(ii) Provide data in respondent’s own words.
(iii) Provide data based on the pre-defined options provided by the researcher
(iv) Generally get less response
Codes :
Assertion (A) : The ‘diary’ technique enables to collect data about daily activities and experiences of the respondents, recorded by himself.

As a measure of item difficulty P = 0.15 would indicate that :
Assertion (A) : Online survey tools such as Survey Monkey and Question Pro have made data collection, analysis and result extraction much easier and simpler.
Reason (R) : Though these tools are being used widely without any doubt in recent time, but social research cannot rely always on the results from an online survey because of their inherent limitations.
| List – I (Types of reliability) | List – II (Procedure) |
| (a) Stability | (i) Administer one test and correlate the items to each other. |
| (b) Equivalence | (ii) Administer different tests to the same individuals over a period of time. |
| (c) Equivalence and Stability | (iii) Administer the same test to the same individuals over a period of time. |
| (d) Internal consistency | (iv) Administer different tests to the same individuals at about the same time. |
