Abstract

The objective of current study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Students' Evaluations of Educational Quality questionnaire. A total of 600 Iranian students of Semnan University participated in the study (294 men & 306 women). Participants completed a Persian version of the Students' Evaluations of Educational Quality questionnaire (PSEEQ; Marsh, 1977). Exploratory factor analysis, item-total correlation, and reliability analyses were undertaken to assess the psychometric properties of the PSEEQ. Exploratory factor analyses showed a seven-factor model for efficient faculties that included learning, enthusiasm, organization, group interaction, individual rapport, breadth & assignment. The factor model was different for inefficient faculties. The internal consistency of the PSEEQ was high (α=0.93 and α=0.95 for efficient and inefficient faculties, respectively). All of items could discriminate efficient and inefficient faculties. Applied implications of results were discussed.
