The Course Experience Questionnaire: a Rasch Measurement Model Analysis

The Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) is applied to graduating students of Australian universities. Data from a selected university for graduates from 1994 to 1996 were analysed using a Rasch measurement model. The whole scale and each of the five sub‐scales were analysed for each year separately, to investigate its conceptual design and validity. The results show that, taken together, at least 17 of the 25 items con form a valid scale measuring graduate perceptions of their courses for each of the three data groups. Of the five sub‐scales, Good Teaching and Generic Skills are only moderately valid and reliable for use and interpretation separately from the main scale.
