Validity and Reliability of Evaluation Methods Used in Course Evaluation Form

The assessment procedure based on a mix of open-ended and closed-ended questionnaires has good validity and reliability. The findings obtained with the Likert Scale may be recognized since it has a dependability of 94%. This evaluation relies on it because of its high degree of dependability.

Strengths of the Likert Scale

Simplicity of Application
Answer Choices with Observable Quantities
Individuals confidently respond to questionnaires
Responses may be simply coded
A fast, reliable, and efficient way to assess and gather information.

Weaknesses of the Likert Scale

It’s hard to accommodate replies that fall in the “neither agree nor disagree” category.
People are more likely to agree with every assertion if they have an acquiescence tendency.
The responders don’t always provide truthful answers.
It is possible that the survey or assessment won’t be completed in full.

Executive Summary

The goals and results of the program and the curriculum are consistent with the assessment. The assessments put an emphasis on providing a critical analysis of the course by analyzing the integration of the program objectives and the observed learning outcomes (Malik et al., 2021).

The analysis relies on the student’s responses to a series of questions posed on a Likert scale, which have been incorporated into the evaluation template with the curriculum and educational objectives. The assessment shows how the expected educational consequences compare to the understanding that students actually acquired. The evaluation’s findings were more trustworthy and legitimate because of the anonymity it provided to the participants. The strong reliability score obtained from using this approach on data or outcomes measured using a Likert scale allowed to confidently set the upper limit of validity at 94%.
