Validation of the quality assessment scale for university centers
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
This paper presents the validation process of a tool created to assess the quality of education at university centers. These centers have certain peculiarities due to their regional insertion and their multidisciplinary character.The development of this instrument is justified by the need to have valid tools for the internal quality assessment of higher education.The validation study included the content and construct analysis to determine the tool validity. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to study the factorial construct validity. The EFA finds three factors (Teaching, Knowledge of University Life and Activities of the Center and Study Environment), which are corroborated by CFA.The procedure for creating the scale gives an account of its content validity. The scale has very good psychometric characteristics and their adjustment rates are almost all within the desirable values, therefore, it presents a good construct validity.
