Validation of the Instrument
According to Hopkins and Stanley (1981) validity refers to the extent to which a particular instrument actually and accurately measures what it intends to measure. The validity of instrument is how well it fulfils the function for which it is being used.
Therefore the validation of the instrument of this research work was established by face and content.
After the completion of the research instrument for the study, this Questionnaire was shown to the expert in the College of Education, Kwara State, Ilorin, who went through and made corrections. The supervisor made final evaluation and corrections, so that it could be useable for the study.
Reliability of the Instrument
Reliability, according to Koul (2001), Rose (2001), is the stability, dependability and predictability of the test or of the method being used. Reliability is also seen when there is consistency of a measuring instrument over a number of times.
The test-retest method was used to test the reliability of the instrument.
The same questionnaire was given to the same set of deaf students after two weeks interval from the time of the first administration.
The results obtained at both administrations were correlated using Pearson Moment Correlation Co-efficient. The co-efficient was 0.76. This was considered good enough for the reliability of the study instrument.
Procedure for Data Collection
Copies of the questionnaire were personally administered to the respondents with the help of the school counsellor to ensure maximum returns.
Method of Data Analysis
Data collected from the study were analysed using frequency counts, percentage and t-test to test the hypotheses. They were tested on 0.05 level significance.
