With regard to content validity, 64 items were generated based on the judgments of a panel of experts. Fifty-seven respondents completedthe preliminary instrument. The inventory demonstrated excellent reliability and strong internal validity. In the next phases, the inventory will be further validated and calibrated based on different psychometric standards and models.

Dengan mengambil kira kesahan kandungan, 64 item telah dijana berdasarkan penghakiman panel pakar. Lima puluh tujuh responden telah melengkapkan instrumen awal. Inventori menunjukkan kebolehpercayaan yang cemerlang dan kesahan dalaman yang kuat. Dalam fasa yang seterusnya, inventori perlu divalidasikan dan ditentukan berdasarkan pelbagai piawaian dan model psikometrik
Validation of Measures of Academic Self-Handicapping Behavior and Student Engagement on Muslim University Students
Get PDFAs a preliminary step to studying the reciprocal relationship between student engagement and academic self-handicapping, the present study had the aim of validating two key instruments on the target non-western population. The two instrruments in question were 1) the Self-Handicapping Questionnaire (SHQ 2011), and 2) the Student Engagement Questionnaire (SEQ 2011) which consists of i) the Emotional Engagement Scale, ii) the Behavioral Engagement Scale, and iii) the Cognitive Engagement Scale. We wanted to discover the psychometric properties of these instruments when used on an Asian Muslim population, in a predominantly Muslim setting. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were employed. Results indicated that both measures had adequate validity and reliability when used on a Muslim population.

Penyelidik ingin mengetahui ciri-ciri psikometrik instrumen-instrumen tersebut apabila digunakan ke atas umat Islam di Asia, dalam suasana yang kebanyakannya beragama Islam. Analisis komponen utama (PCA) dan analisis faktor pengesahan (CFA) telah digunakan. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa kedua-dua instrumen memenuhi keesahan dan kebolehpercayaan apabila digunakan ke atas penduduk Islam. 
Gender Equality and the Participation of Muslim Women in Education and Work: A Critical Analysis
Get PDFMost of the today's writings on women tend to fit them within the frame of discrimination, where they are presented as victims of a male dominated society. Voices of women's rights proponents are raised to promote gender equality in every aspect of life. But, is that what our society should aim for and to what extent should it carry out this quest? Taking a theoretical approach, this paper will look at women at both educational and work environments. An Islamic perspective is employed to evaluate the general issues throughout the paper, and specifically the concept of gender equality. Special reference has been made to selected Qur’anic verses and the Prophetic sayings (Ahadith) dealing with women’s issues. The descriptive and analytical methods have been utilized through the entire discussion of this paper. This paper has reached at the conclusion that problems faced by contemporary women can be solved by referring to the Divine Word of Allah (s.w.t.), the Qur’an and the Prophetic Sunnah, as well as the Divine-Oriented traditions.
Abstrak:
Kebanyakan karya tulisan mengenai wanita hari ini cenderung untuk meletakkan mereka dalam kerangka diskriminasi, di mana mereka telah dipaparkan sebagai mangsa lelaki yang mendominasi masyarakat. Suara penyokong hak-hak wanita akan dibangkitkan untuk mempromosi kesaksamaan gender dalam setiap aspek kehidupan. Walau bagaimanapun, adakah itu yang masyarakat kita harus perjuangkan dan sampai ke tahap manakah harus usaha ini diperjuangkan? Mengambil pendekatan teoretikal, kertas kerja ini melihat wanita di dalam dua persekitaran iaitu pendidikan dan kerjaya. Perspektif Islam digunakan untuk menilai isu-isu umum seluruh kertas ini, khususnya konsep kesaksamaan gender. Rujukan khas telah dibuat kepada ayat Al-Quran yang terpilih dan hadith Nabi Muhammad SAW berkaitan dengan isu-isu wanita. Kaedah deskriptif dan analisis telah digunakan dalam seluruh perbincangan. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahawa masalah yang dihadapi oleh wanita kontemporari boleh diselesaikan dengan merujuk kepada perkataan Allah (s.w.t.) dalam Al-Quran dan Sunnah Nabi Muhammad SAW, serta tradisi berasaskan ilahi. 
Assessment Practices in the Developing World: Predictors of Assessment Practices in Ugandan Institutions of Higher Learning
Get PDFThis study analysed the predictors of assessment practices employed by faculty at selected institutions in Uganda. An Assessment Practices Inventory Modified (APIM) scale was distributed to a sample of 350 academic staff selected from both private and public universities in Uganda. Random sampling was used to select the participants for this study. MANOVA and multiple regression analysis were employed for data analysis. Differences were revealed in faculty assessment practices according to their academic levels and specialisations, and not in the type of universities. Differences in academic levels cut across all the assessment practices sub-scales (design, administration, interpretation, and application) while in specialisations differences were only in assessment interpretation. It was also found out that academic levels and formal assessment course undertaken are the only significant predictors of the academic staff’s assessment practices among the many hypothesised predictors (type of universities, specialisations, academic levels, class size, and assessment course). Generally, from the descriptive results of this study it has been noted that academic staff in Ugandan universities lack appropriate assessment skills in assessing their students. This has led to a recommendation that formal assessment training programmes should be made mandatory to all academic staff in universities in Uganda in order to improve their assessment skills to ensure quality in the way they assess students.Keywords: Assessment practice, higher education, Uganda
Abstrak:
Kajian ini menganalisis peramal bagi amalan penilaian yang digunakan oleh pihak fakulti di institusi-institusi terpilih di Uganda. Skala inventori amalan penilaian semakan (Assessment Practices Inventory Modified APIM) telah diedarkan kepada sampel yang terdiri daripada 350 orang kakitangan akademik yang dipilih dari Universiti awam dan swasta di Uganda. Persampelan rawak digunakan untuk memilih peserta kajian ini. MANOVA dan analisis regresi berganda digunakan untuk menganalisis data. Terdapat perbezaan dalam amalan penilaian fakulti mengikut tahap akademik dan pengkhususan mereka, dan bukan jenis universiti. Perbezaan tahap akademik merentasi semua penilaian amalan sub skala (rekabentuk, pentadbiran, interpretasi dan aplikasi) sementara bagi pengkhususan perbezaan itu hanya untuk tafsiran penilaian. Kajian juga mendapati bahawa hanya tahap akademik dan kursus formal penilaian yang dijalankan menjadi peramal amalan penilaian kakitangan akademik di kalangan banyak peramal yang dihipotesiskan (jenis universiti, pengkhususan, tahap akademik, saiz kelas, dan penilaian kursus). Secara umumnya, keputusan kajian deskriptif menunjukkan bahawa staf akademik di Universiti Uganda kekurangan kemahiran penilaian yang sesuai bagi menilai pelajar mereka. Ini telah melahirkan cadangan bahawa program latihan formal penilaian hendaklah diwajibkan untuk semua staf akademik di universiti-universiti di Uganda bagi meningkatkan kemahiran penilaian untuk memastikan cara mereka menilai pelajar berkualiti
