Koonce  \nRegent University  \nMichael D. Kelly  \nVirginia Tech  \nIn this study, researchers analyzed the reliability and validity of the mentor’s assessment for principal internships at a university in the Southeast region of the United States. The results of the study yielded how trustworthy and dependable the instrument is and the effectiveness of the instrument in the current principal preparation program. Study results were analyzed using reliability requirements for instruments utilized in obtaining national accreditation and to provide suggestions for program improvement. The instrument was reviewed by a panel of experts from areas outside of the research population to establish content and face validity. Internal consistency and reliability were measured using Cronbach’s alpha. A total of 229 candidate internship scores were used. The reliability test resulted in an overall alpha of .949. The results obtained in this study indicate the instrument has a very high level of validity as well as reliability.  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review, Vol. 15, No. 2– October 2014 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2014 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nEven after decades of use, designing and implementing worthwhile administrative internships  \nremains a work in progress (Lehman, 2013) .  \nNational accreditation for educational leadership preparation programs has recently been approved by the United States Department of Education (USDOE) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEV) for one accreditor, the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) . One pathway for accreditation under CAEP is the Inquiry Brief (IB) . Although standards and principles of quality are key elements in the IB, all assessments adopted must be valid and reliable interpretations of the evidence (Teacher Education Accreditation Council, 2012) . One instrument utilized by a university in the Southeast region of the United States to evaluate the principal internship is the Principal Internship Mentor’s Assessment (PIMA). This study will address reliability and validity for the PIMA.  \nReliability measures are designed to yield confidence that an assessment is trustworthy and dependable indicating to what degree the assessment measures what it is designed to measure. There is a difference in the relationship between reliability and validity. Arcy, Jacobs, Razavieh, and Sorensen (2006) posited that, “A measuring instrument can be reliable without being valid; but it could not be valid unless it is first reliable”(p. 256) . Arcy, et. al., provides asan example that intelligence may be studied by determining the circumference of the head. Consistency in the measurements of the head from time to time may be very similar (reliable), but doing this would not yield valid inferences about intelligence because there is no correlation of measurements of the head with any other criteria of intelligence or theory of intelligence. The result is very reliable scores over time but not a sufficient condition for valid interpretation of test scores.  \nScores for this study are derived from one internship assessment (PIMA) aligned with common elements from the six Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards. Williams and Alawiye (2014) reported that,“there is a huge increase in adopting the ISLLC Standards in higher education as a pre-requisite for new leaders in the school system”(p. 2) . Consistency in measuring elements of the ISLLC Standards would yield inferences about principal preparation because of the correlation between the ISLLC Standards and the principal intern","cbCaic6FB2IbNKSJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic6FB2IbNKSJ","pdf",259518,16,"English","# Reliability and Validity of the Mentor’s Assessment\n## Purpose\n## Rationale and Significance of the Study\n## Reliability\n## Cronbach’s Alpha\n## PIMA (Principal Internship Mentor’s Assessment)\n## Definition of Terms","[{\"question\":\"What instrument does the study evaluate for principal internships?\",\"answer\":\"The study evaluates the Principal Internship Mentor’s Assessment (PIMA), a Likert-type instrument aligned with ISLLC Standards and used to score principal internship performance.\"},{\"question\":\"How is reliability measured in this research?\",\"answer\":\"Reliability is measured through internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha, computed from 229 candidate internship scores.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the study establish validity for the PIMA?\",\"answer\":\"Validity is supported by expert panel review to establish content and face validity, ensuring the assessment makes valid interpretations of evidence.\"}]","Analysis of the Reliability and Validity of a Mentor’s Assessment for Principal Internships - Reliability and Validity Study | PDF",1792093353]
