Abstract

This study investigated the content validity of the Assessment, Evaluation, and Programming System (AEPS) for Infants and Children—3rd Edition (AEPS-3) in Kosovo. A total of thirty-five experts from various disciplines validated the content of the AEPS-3 test by reviewing items in their respective areas of expertise. The experts reviewed the AEPS-3 items and then completed a survey questionnaire that addressed (1) relatedness of the item, (2) item clarity, (3) criterion clarity, and (4) example clarity. Data were analyzed in three different ways: (1) content validity index (CVI), (2) expert reviewers’ feedback, and (3) expert reviewers’ online discussion. Test items were retained, modified, and/or removed based on the quantitative and qualitative results.
