The Application of Fuzzy Delphi Method in Content Validity Analysis

EasyChair Preprint 4535

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore about an alternative approach of testing the content validity of an instrument. For this reason, a newly developed counseling needs assessment instrument was used to quantify the agreement that was made by 16 of the panel experts counselors. To compute the feedbacks quantitively, this study has chosen the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM). The final results have shown that out of 126 items, 5 items namely item 62, item 63, item 76, item 77 and item 115 were discarded from the list as they were scored 0.5 and below of the defuzzification values and the items were also ranked  122 (item 77), 123 (item 63), 124 (item 76), 125 (item 62) and 126 (item 115).
