Abstract EN

The current study aimed to construct a questionnaire to measure the quality of educational research from the perspective of academics and researchers in the Palestinian universities .It also aimed to ascertain the validity and the reliability of the questionnaire using suitable standardization procedures as those used in such studies.

To achieve the objective of the study a questionnaire was constructed .In its initial form ,it includes (71) items : each of which o represents an indicator of the proposed indicators of the research .The tool was presented to a group of referees .In the light of their views ; the proposed adjustments were made; these included amendments to the wording of some items and the exclusion of (11) items .So ,the tool was formed of (60) items in its final shape .These indicators were distributed to four domains: the introduction included (34) items ; the method and procedures included (10) items; the analysis of the results and their discussion included (8) items; and documentation and organization included 8 items .

To ascertain the psychometric characteristics of the instrument, it was distributed to a sample consisting of (99) academic and educational researchers who work in Palestinian institutions and universities .The results of responses to the items as a whole indicated a mean (4.51) which represents the degree of very great importance, whereas the means of their responses to the items of tool ranging between (4.48 - 4.54).

In order to ascertain the validity of the tool, results showed that all the correlation coefficients of the subjects responses to the items of the tool with the total degree, ranging from (0.509 – 0.839) .The correlation coefficient of the responses on the item with the domain to which it belongs ranging between (0.539 - 0.904).

All these values were statistically significant at the level of statistical significance (α ≤ 0.05 ).

The reliability factor was calculated using the equation of Kronbach-alpha rating 0.98.This indicates the validity and suitability of the instrument for the purposes of arbitration and evaluation of the educational research.

In the light of these findings, the researchers recommended the need to use and to utilize this tool in the evaluation and arbitration of research in order to improve the quality of the educational research a whole.
