How you will ensure reliability for the measurement for your topic?

The strengths and limitations of the measurement instrument you have selected in terms of reliability and validity.

Which scale is appropriate for you to use for your plan and why?

What test is appropriate for your plan, and whether it is norm or criterion reference?
