Abstract

This monograph provides a logical and epistemological rational for the Post Hoc testing of the instrumentation used in the transformative process of qualitative data into quantitative outcomes through the Tri–Squared Test introduced in the Journal on Mathematics and expounded upon in the Journal on Educational Psychology. An advanced Post Hoc statistical measure using the Del Differential Operator and Matrix Algebra is used to determine the Construct Validity of researcher designed instruments using the Tri–Squared research design parameters. This additional novel approach to advanced data analysis adds additional value to Tri–Squared as an innovative mixed methods approach to investigative inquiry.
