- ItemInstrumen penilaian pembimbing dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran berasaskan kerja pelajar di industri(Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 2012-08) Hasan, AzmanThis study aims to develop and validate the instruments for the assessment of effective mentors in the Work-Based Learning (WBL) setting. The development of the instrument involved three phases: Phase 1, the formation of concept and items; Phase 2, the pilot study; and Phase 3, the actual study and validation of the Effective Mentor framework. The qualitative analysis in Phase 1, identified five constructs relating to the effective mentor framework, which are: role, knowledge, feedback, personal attribute and role models. A total of 115 items were generated based on Krathwohl taxonomy. The Fleiss Kappa agreement coefficient value obtained was 0.82, thus showing a very good level of agreement. However, 3 items were improved and 4 items were dropped from the list of initial items. In Phase 2, a pilot study was conducted on 111 items, involving 30 advanced diploma students in Electronic Engineering (Medical) and Automotive Design and Manufacturing Engineering enrolled in polytechnics under the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. Data were analyzed using Rasch measurement model approach. At this stage, 12 items were separated and discarded. The remaining, 99 items were administered on 81 students involved in the WBL in the industry and who did not participate in Phase 2. In Phase 3, 4 items were removed and discarded, and only 95 items were maintained. This study used a 5-point Likert scale. The findings resulted in an instruments that have high reliability and validity in assessing mentors in industry. Accordingly, the Effective Mentor framework was developed and validated through Principal Component Analysis to determine the unidimensionality of constructs. The research, in short, proves that these unidimensional constructs validated as true factors measuring the mentors’ effectiveness in the Work-based Learning setting
- ItemPembangunan instrumen penilaian akhlak pelajar di institusi pengajian tinggi awam(Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 2013) Abdul Latif , AdibahThis study is designed to develop Students’ Akhlak Evaluation Instrument (IMPAK) in higher education institutions. The instrument is focused on three constructs which are behaviour, oral communication and personality. The instrument items were developed from two main references that are al-Qur’an and Intipati Ihya’ Ulumuddin by Imam al-Ghazali. The constructs and their definitions were obtained from structured interviews of five lecturers who specialize in akhlak field. The instrument was pilot tested on 60 students from one local university to find the validity and reliability of the instrument. Based on the results of the pilot test, the rating scale was changed from 5 to 4 subscales and 12 items were omitted. The reliability test used test retest technique. The first test was administered at the start of the semester and the second test was administered three months later. The survey research was conducted on 400 students from four public universities. The data was analyzed using Rasch Measurement analysis. The findings showed that IMPAK has good construct validity. Item and individual reliability was very high and the rating scale was understood by the students. The constructs were unidimensional and 64 items remain fit with the model. The IMPAK was free from gender bias. Generally, the level of students’ akhlak was at good logit achievement. There is no significant difference in akhlak level across races and educational stream. It is recommended that relevant entities such as students, parents, higher education and MOHE establish a mechanism for developing well-rounded students especially in affective domain
