Next, we present our LCA and
predictive validity analyses by providing background on the methods, illustrating the approach with edTPA data from our Partner University, and detailing how TPPs can use the evidence generated by these analyses for program improvement.
The
predictive validity was evaluated by the correlation with oral health outcomes because there is ample evidence about the influence of OHL in the prevalence and severity of oral diseases (3).
Predictive validity test of the Adolescent Domain Screening Inventory.
Once it was determined that a two factor, 18-item measure best captured the data, we tested the measure's internal consistency reliability, test-retest reliability, and
predictive validity. Results indicated that the revised scale shows very good internal consistency reliability ([alpha] = .86).
These findings indicate high
predictive validity for both empirical models.
The CSAP has been tested for content, construct, discriminate, and
predictive validity; all are within acceptable levels.
Ideally, a study of
predictive validity would be longitudinal, tracking the out-comes of students over at least three years, from the point when they complete each exam (in 10th grade) to the end of their first year in college.

Their research is specific to a particular test--the Psychometric Entrance Test used for admissions to universities in Israel, and the examples they use to illustrate this type of evidence focus on
predictive validity. Specifically, they take a
predictive validity approach to evaluate the best means of weighting subscores from this high-stakes admissions test to form composites that enhance the
predictive validity of the assessment.
The researchers said: 'The finding that smokers smoking from a plain pack evidenced more frequent thought about, and priority for, quitting than branded pack smokers is important, since frequency of thoughts about quitting has strong
predictive validity in prospective studies for actually making a quit attempt.
