Identify the correct sequence for the technique of developing measurement tools.

1.Specification of concept dimensions

2.Selection of indicators

3.Concept development

4.Formation of an index

A1, 2, 3, 4

B3, 1, 2, 4 ✓ Correct

C2, 3, 1, 4

D4, 1, 3, 2

Correct answer: (B) 3, 1, 2, 4

Explanation

The correct sequence is concept development, specification of dimensions, selection of indicators, then index formation.

Concept development first clarifies the abstract idea to be measured.

Specification of its dimensions then breaks the concept into its measurable facets.

Selection of indicators follows, choosing observable signs for each dimension.

Formation of an index finally combines the indicators into a single measure.

This movement runs from the abstract concept down to concrete measurement.
