Explanation:
Face validity refers to validity taken at face value; does an assessment tool give an immediate impression that it measures the intended outcome? Content validity refers to sample representativeness; how well do the results capture the characteristics of a population of students? Reliability refers to the tool’s consistency in producing results over time and with different samples of students.
