Evaluating the Content Validity: Development of An Instrument for Measuring Functional Building Performance

Abstract

Managing the selection of relevant criteria for functional building performance is essential for the building management team because it is strongly related with building occupants’ satisfaction and achievement of organizational objectives. In the current state of functional building performance evaluation, previous studies have shown that the criteria vary that depends on the facility types and purpose of conducting performance evaluation. These selection criteria have a direct impact on functional building performance and need to be done in in a systematic way. The content validity of the functional building performance evaluation instrument is essential step in the instrument development. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the content validity of Functional Building Performance (FBP) evaluation by using Content Validity Index (CVI) and modified Kappa coefficient. In achieving this research aim, a set of questionnaires was developed based on numerous construct items that obtained from previous studies by various authors and researchers. The selected expert panel in the field of historic building management and building performance evaluation such as local municipality, related government agencies, academician and building management team reviewed and rated the instrument to ensure its relevance and representativeness of each item. The final instrument contained 39 items that is valid and considered to be retained and all items will be further tested in next study. The result also shown the S-CVI/ Ave for all items meet the criterion of 0.90.

Expert Evaluation on the Content Validity of the Novice Teachers’ Assessment Inventory (InPGN)

“…Past researchers have yet to perform any validity analysis to obtain expert consensus, although it is imperative to get quality measurement instruments in the context of instrument development (Polit et al, 2007). The Content Validity Index (CVI) is a popular validity method (Almanasreh et al, 2019) by past researchers (Aksah et al, 2023;Mohamad et al, 2022;Roebianto et al, 2023;Roy et al, 2023) to obtain validity analysis of the developed instruments. CVI can be analyzed through the formula CVI = n/N, where n is the number of several expert panel consensus, and N is the number of experts.…”
