| description | This study attempted to examine
Ph.D. students' satisfaction with the supervision
process at the International Islamic University
Malaysia. In addition, the study also investigated
the psychometric properties of supervision scale
constructed by Van der Heide (1994),
'specifically the scale dimensionality, construct
validity, endorsibility, and estimation of item and
person score reliability of the scales. The
participants were 94 Ph.D. students of the
International Islamic University, Malaysia. The
quality supervision scale (QSS) that included
many qualities of effective supervision such as
supervisor academic competency, research
methods competency, attitude towards
supervisee, faculty academic and moral
supports and supervisees' personal traits was
distributed to the respondents. The Rasch
model analysis was then employed to analyze
the data for reliability, fit to the model, estimation
of satisfaction levels and possibility of scale to
function differentially across gender. Results
suggested that generally students were satisfied
with the supervision processes at the
International Islamic University. In addition to
that, the scale satisfied psychometrics
properties by maintaining unidimensionality,
reliability, and internal consistency. Furthermore,
Rasch analysis revealed that, for gender,
differences in overall satisfaction levels between
males and females were marginal. The
differential item functioning showed that only 5
of 29 calibrated items function differently. This
suggested that stUdents' levels of satisfaction
were constant across gender. However, the
stUdy recommended that future studies should
examine the satisfaction level across different
disciplines since previous studies suggested
that satisfaction differs across different domains. |
