Convergent and Discriminant Validity of Classroom Observation Instruments: Conceptual Background, Critique, and a Case in Point
Munby, H.; Wilson, R.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 24, 2, 69-80, Jun 78

This interpretation is used to critique a recent validation study and is then applied to the problem of validating the construct "View of Science", using a classroom observation instrument.
