The Validity of the jane ® Competency System AI Critical Thinking Assessments
r = 0.827 . The Pearson Correlation Coefficient ranges from negative one to positive one . A correlation coefficient near zero indicates no relationship between the variables . A correlation coefficient of 0.20 - 0.30 ( either positive or negative ) is considered a weak correlation . A correlation coefficient between 0.40 – 0.60 ( either positive or negative ) is indicative of a moderate relationship . A correlation coefficient of 0.80 or higher ( either positive or negative ) demonstrates that the two variables are strongly related . Thus , the results of the study indicated that there was a significant , strong positive relationship between jane ’ s evaluative scores and the human ( RN ) ratings .
