Mullen, David J. – 1976
This study further develops the Diagnostic Survey for Leadership Improvement (DSLI) and determines its reliability and validity. Split-half estimates of the DSLI's reliability were computed. These estimates came in terms of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients that were then corrected by the Spearman-Brown Prophesy Formula. The…

Found that OS competence was stable across time and related to improvements in mothers' psychological functioning from Wave 1 to Wave 2. Mothers' Wave-2 psychological functioning related to Wave-3 involved-supportive…

Buchmann, Margret; Floden, Robert E. – Educational Researcher, 1992
Among concepts that seem to be the guardian angels of school reform, coherence is a rebel angel, advancing human learning, but escaping control. Coherence must not be confused with consistency. It allows for change and imagination but remains true to concepts and experiences that construct coherence without fabricating consistency. (SLD)

Moss, Pamela A. – Educational Researcher, 1994
The assumption that reliability is a necessary but insufficient condition for validity in assessment is challenged by exploring a dialectic between psychometric and hermeneutic approaches to drawing and warranting interpretations of human products of performance. Hermeneutic alternatives for epistemological and ethical purposes expand the range of…
