| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the importance of validity in engineering education research, highlighting the need for a robust validation process for assessment instruments. It discusses the historical reliance on external frameworks for instrument development and the ongoing issues with the inadequate consideration of validity in many submissions to the Journal of Engineering Education. The authors emphasize a shift from a trinitarian to a unitarian view of validity, advocating for a comprehensive approach that includes methodological transparency, context-specific considerations, and valid inferences. They encourage the engineering education community to engage with these discussions to enhance the quality and trustworthiness of research findings. [Extracted from the article] |
