Which aspect of evaluation is used when a teacher ensures that students complete an exercise in mathematics and also makes sure that the instructions are clear and specific?

AValidity ✓ Correct
BPracticality
CReliability
DConsistency
Correct answer: (A) Validity
Explanation

Validity means an evaluation actually measures what it is meant to measure, which clear, specific instructions and a genuinely completed task help secure.

Practicality concerns whether a test is easy to administer, score and afford, not what it measures.

Reliability is the consistency of scores across repeated administrations, a different quality.

Consistency is essentially another name for reliability and does not describe measuring the intended trait.

Validity, reliability and objectivity are the three chief characteristics of a good test.

Content validity, one of its types, checks whether the items cover the intended syllabus.
