| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to develop and validate an instrument on Academic
Enhancement Support for Malaysian student-athletes. The instrument development process began
earlier in previous research's stages. Thirty-five questionnaires were distributed to Malaysia Public
University student-athletes who competed at the university and state levels. It took a week to collect
data, with a 100% return rate and one damaged questionnaire removed. Winstep version 3.69.1.11 was
used to conduct three analyses: item-person reliability and separation index, statistical fit, and
standardised residual correlation for item dependent. Cronbach's alpha of 0.96 indicates high reliability,
with all items displaying a positive value for item polarity. Thirty items were identified as being misfit,
five of which were removed and fifteen of which were revised. In the final analysis, ten pairs of items
were dictated to be redundant, and ten items were eliminated following selection. In total, 15 items were
removed from the instrument, leaving 82 items in the validated version. In conclusion, the instrument
developed is a valid instrument capable of validating the student-perception athlete's of the support
necessary for academic advancement during actual study. |
