Abstract

This study aimed at constructing a scale of the attitudes of faculty staff

members towards the students’ evaluation of the educational practices at the
university level.To achieve the study’s objective, the primary form of the scale
was constructed out of (44) items using a 5-point Likert Scale.After proofing
and applying the scale on pilot sample, the number of the items was (31) .The
scale was administered to a sample of (200) faculty staff members at Al Azhar
University in Gaza.The results revealed that (28) items obey the assumptions
of rating scale model derived from Rasch model that constitute the final form
of the scale and cover the Trait Continuum Regularly.The scale characterized
by good psychometric properties, and the value of the reliability coefficient of
the scale items was (0.96) and offered it several symptoms validity.
