Instructions
Quality measurement in research is essential. Measurement involves assigning numbers to concepts,
objects, events or situations following a set of rules derived by the researcher through instrumentation or
the use of tools for measurement. These measurements should be accurate and consistent. Chapter 16
in Gray, Groces and Sutherland (2017) explains the way that validity and reliability can be achieved.
