The Master of Science and Doctoral Program of FEB UGM held a thesis coaching on Friday, May 17, 2024. The topic of this thesis coaching session was “Validity and Reliability Test”
featuring Naila Zulfa, M.A., M.S., PGDip., Ph.D., FHEA, a lecturer from the Department of Management at FEB UGM.
This event was conducted offline from 13:30 to 15:00 WIB in the BRI Auditorium, 3rd Floor, Master of Science and Doctoral Building, FEB UGM.
In this thesis coaching session, validity and reliability testing were highlighted as crucial steps that every researcher must undertake. Validity aims to ensure that the instrument used genuinely measures what it is supposed to measure, while reliability aims to ensure the consistency of results when the instrument is used under the same conditions repeatedly. During her presentation, Naila Zulfa, M.A., M.S., PGDip., Ph.D., FHEA, explained validity and reliability testing with a focus on reflective constructs. By ensuring the validity and reliability of research instruments, researchers can guarantee that the data collected is accurate and reliable. This is essential for making meaningful contributions to the field of science and ensuring that research results can be used to make informed, evidence-based decisions.
In the question and answer session, several students expressed interest in the topic of validity and reliability. The discussion between students and the lecturer was highly productive, with many inputs from the lecturer providing solutions to their concerns. The event concluded with a group photo.
