Assessment Databases

IRB: Institutional Review Board

Trevecca Nazarene University faculty and students are involved in a number of research projects. Some research reflects faculty and students' professional research interests and some research is related to class or program requirements.

All research conducted by Trevecca faculty and students, and all research conducted at Trevecca by outside groups, must be approved by Trevecca's Institutional Review Board—responsible for ensuring compliance with established federal and university procedural and ethical guidelines for research.

Using Google Scholar to locate testing instruments or assessment measure ratings, i.e., reliability, validity

In general, when looking for specific types of studies, put the type of the study in quotation marks. Remember you can further limit by date range or by adding another term. 

By Subject

Add another element, such as a subject term, to limit results to a set that is focused on a particular topic. Then, limit by date range if desired. 

  • "quantitative survey" leadership and women
  • "qualitative questionnaire" leadership and AI
Note: Change the second term to reflect the topic you need

 

By Assessment Measurement Rating

To locate research studies with by assessment measure rating, employ the following search strategies in Google Scholar. Remember you can further limit by date range or by adding another term. 

  • "qualitative questionnaire" "construct validity"
  • "qualitative questionnaire" reliability
  • "qualitative questionnaire" interpretability

Note: Change the second term to reflect the rating you need.
