Evaluating the Validity of WorkKeys in the Mississippi Community College System. ACT Research. Technical Brief
Conway, Jeffrey
ACT, Inc.
In the fall of 2020, ACT and the Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB) entered into a data sharing agreement in order to examine the validity of ACT's® WorkKeys® Assessments. WorkKeys Assessments measure students' foundational workplace skills. The focus of this technical brief is to summarize the results of several validity studies using a sample from MCCB. This brief examines three different types of validity: (1) convergent; (2) discriminant; and (3) criterion-related. To examine convergent and discriminant validity, the relationship between WorkKeys and the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) was examined. To assess criterion-related validity, the relationships between WorkKeys and several educational outcomes were examined.
