Module IX
Week 11 Instrumentation, Reliability, and Validity, Data Collection and Human Subject Protection

v Overview
Instrument is the generic term researchers use for measurement devices (surveys, tests, questionnaires, etc.). To help distinguish between instrument and instrumentation, consider that
the instrument is the device and instrumentation is the course of action (the process of developing, testing, and using the device).

Instruments fall into two broad categories: researcher-completed and subject-completed. The former is distinguished by those that researchers administer versus those that participants complete. Researchers chose the type of instrument or instrument to use based on the research question.

Employ appropriate measurements and data collection procedures for specific research questions or hypotheses.
