The Bahasa Melayu R-SPQ-2F: A Preliminary Evidence of its Validity

This study provided preliminary evidence for the validity of the Bahasa Melayu (Malay Language) version of the Revised Two-Factor Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) from a sample of 160 final year engineering students. The internal consistency alpha of the R-SPQ-2F scales was found to be 0.66 (Surface Approaches) and 0.79 (Deep Approaches). Results indicated a two factor solution with eigenvalues exceeding 1.0 and KMO value of 0.76 while the Barlett test was significant (Chi Square = 650,045, p <0.05). Further studies with larger samples and other disciplines is needed to provide further evidence of the validity of the Bahasa Melayu R-SPQ-2F.
