Reliability of measuring constructs in applied linguistics research: a comparative study of domestic and international graduate theses

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Threats to the consistency and validity of measurements in research would potentially derail future research that depends on incremental accumulation of research evidence and findings. Despite the noted implications that reliable assessments hold for policy and practice, whether and the extent to which Applied Linguistics researchers examine or maximize the consistency of their measuring instruments remains underexplored. Subsequently, the quality of measuring instruments affects the internal validity of research studies (Plonsky and amp; Derrick, 2016), which in turn compromises the credibility of research findings. Several studies have addressed the quality of quantitative analyses (Khany . . .
