Program Evaluation Project Report, 1969-73. Chapter Three: An Introduction to Reliability and the Goal Attainment Scaling Methodology.
Garwick, Geoffrey
The P.E.P. Report 1969-1973 focuses on the various findings and activities of the Program Evaluation Project. Reliability is considered a basic aspect of any measurement system. With Goal Attainment Scaling, at least two types of reliability are important: the reliability of the followup guide construction and the reliability of the followup guide scoring. This chapter discusses the theory underlying applications of conventional reliability concepts to Goal Attainment Scaling and reviews a range of studies relevant to the reliability of the methodology. This chapter is designed to give a general introduction to reliability and Goal Attainment Scaling. (Author/RC)
