| It
is not surprising that some learners found the tool repetitive.
The researchers intentionally chose multiple statements (4 performance
indicators for each skills set) to ensure internal validity. Performance
indicators were selected and/or developed to determine finer detail
within a particular set of skills. Rather than reduce the number
of performance indicators, the tool was reviewed further to identify
any unnecessary repetitive indicators. Two were found to be repetitive
and were revised. |
