In the refereed journal you are reading, the researchers state that the validity and reliability of the instruments used in their study were established at an acceptable level. You are unfamiliar with the instruments used. You believe that to critically review this section of the report it is necessary to find out how the validity and reliability of these instruments were determined and the
criteria used to determine acceptability. How would you proceed? Include in your discussion how you could use technology to help you, and support your position with examples. What will be an ideal response?
