Chronbach’s Alpha Ginnie Bushong

Chronbach Alpha Also known as Alpha Coefficient An internal consistency or reliability coefficient for an instrument requiring only one test administration. General form of the KR20 formula

KR20 Formula a = (k/k-1)(1-(Σs i 2 /s t 2 )) –When: k = number of conditions contributing to a total score s = standard deviation –Range from 0 to 1.0 a >.9 is excellent a >.8 is good a >.7 is acceptable a >.6 is questionable a >.5 is poor a <.5 is unacceptable

Survey Research Validity –Will the survey provide the proper information for a researcher to determine a conclusion? Pilot Test & Panel of Experts Reliability –Will the survey produce consistent results? Chronbach Alpha
