Content validity of Continuous Assessment tests in Economics in senior secondary schools in Ilorin, Kwara State. ASSEREN Journal of Education. 2, (1); 83-92. Published by Association of Educational Researchers and Evaluators of Nigeria2504-9968https://uilspace.unilorin.edu.ng/handle/123456789/12479This study investigated the content validity of continuous assessment in economics at senior secondary school level in Ilorin Kwara State. The study examined whether the content of Economic Continuous Assessment progressively represent the Economics syllabus where the relationship between variables such as grade level and content were obtained. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. Twenty public Senior Secondary Schools were randomly selected from 69 Senior Secondary Schools in Ilorin. Sources of data collection were records of Economics curriculum for Senior Secondary School 1, 2 and 3 and the Continuous Assessment test items administered to the classes. The content validation of the Economic Continuous assessment test items was assessed with the use of Percentage Difference Coefficient of content validity. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse the hypothesis formulated. Findings revealed that the mean of the validity indices were .72, .51 and .48 for SSS1, SSS2 and SSS3 respectively. This implies that Economics Continuous Assessment test items do not progressively represent the Economics content. The finding revealed that a significant difference exists in the validity indices along the students’ grade level. Based on these findings, it was recommended that Secondary school Economics teachers should ensure that their continuous assessment items are related to the content in economics syllabus for all the classes, SS1-3. This could be achieved when table of specification or test blue print is used to plan the items so as to improve students’ performance both in internal and external economics examinations.enAssessmentContinuous assessment.
