Written in easy-to-understand language, this important text
provides a systematic and commonsense approach to developing
instruments for data collection and analysis. This book can be used
by both those who are developing instruments for the first time and
those who want to hone their skills, including students, agency
personnel, program managers, and researchers.
This book provides a thorough presentation of instrument
construction, from conception to development and pre-testing of
items, formatting the instrument, administration, and, finally,
data management and presentation of the findings. Throughout
the book, the authors emphasize how to create an instrument
that will produce trustworthy and accurate data. To that end they
have included guidelines for reviewing and revising the
questionnaire to enhance validity and reliability. They also show
how to work effectively with stakeholders such as instruments
designers, decision-makers, agency personnel, clients, and raters
or respondents.
