The aim of this study was to evaluate the internal validity and reliability of competency constructs for prevocational medical trainees, in particular to determine whether a potentially useful competency construct defined as a "general professional job performance" competency is valid and reliable for the particular context in which it was measured [ 17].
The aim of this study was to enhance that validity evidence by an evaluation of the internal validity and reliability of competency constructs from supervisors' end-of-term summative assessments for prevocational medical trainees.
The CBCL/4-18 is a standardized parent-report questionnaire designed by Achenbach (1991) [ 17] to assess emotional and behavior problems and social competencies in children with good validity and reliability.

To confirm the validity and reliability of the nurses' care coordination competency draft scale for mechanically ventilated patients in Japan.
Based on the notion that using one single assessment method can compromise the reliability, validity, impact on learning, and other quality criteria of assessment [ 4], Van der Vleuten and Schuwirth proposed a holistic, programmatic approach to assessment aimed at improving the validity and reliability of measurements and documentation of competency development [ 5].
The objective of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of the measure of the four-factor model of the human resource competency in the upper Northeastern part of Thailand.
The validity and reliability of clinical performance assessments using judgement-based methods are acceptable when the actual competency constructs used by assessors are identified using standard validation methods, in particular for a general professional job performance competency construct.
