“…Items selected for factor analysis were those with Crombach's alpha coefficient of 0.42 to 0.80. before factor analysis was conducted, the instrument was subjected to Kaiser-Meyer-Othion (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy and the Bartlett's test of Sphericity. Keiser recommended a coefficient of 0.60 to be considered good enough for factor analysis (Kolawole & Fabunmi, 2014). The seven subscales have values between 0.65 and 0.86.…”

This study is part of a research funded through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) research grant, Abuja Nigeria. The authors are therefore grateful to the TETFund office Abuja and Taraba State University Management for facilitating the grant. Abstract The present study developed and examined the factorial validity of scores on the Lecturer Teaching Assessment Scale across lecturers of universities in North-east Nigeria. This study presents a validation report of the Lecturer's Teaching Assessment Scale (LECTAS) developed for the assessment of lecturer's teaching effectiveness in Universities. It also examined the factor structure of the LECTAS, its logical validity, and internal consistency reliability coefficients. The study adopted the Developmental and survey research designs. A total of 2600 students that completed the developed LECTAS constituted the sample for the study. The 34item LECTAS was used to collect data for the study. Collected data were subjected to reliability and factor analyses. Results showed that the scale is valid and reliable in assessing lecturers teaching output. The LECTAS was adjudged to possess construct validity. The results revealed that the LECTAS was reliable (Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.932. Thus, the LECTAS possessed adequate psychometric qualities that make it suitable to assess lecturers' teaching effectiveness in Nigerian universities.

“…Few studies have investigated the construct validity of Holland’s model in the African continent (for a review, see Bullock et al, 2010). This is problematic because there is evidence that Holland’s model is used for career interventions in several African countries (e.g., Amoah, Kwofie, & Baiden, 2015; Chemeli, 2013; de Bruin & de Bruin, 2009; Kolawole & Fabunmi, 2014; Muriithi, 2008; Muskin, 2012; Salami, 2004, 2008; Watson, Foxcraft, & Allen, 2007; Watson, McMahon, & Longe, 2011).…”

This study investigated the construct (structural) validity of Holland's circumplex model of vocational personality types in Africa. Data were obtained on the general occupational themes of the Strong Interest Inventory for 28 countries. These countries were classified into three different geographic regions (Eastern Africa, Southern Africa, and Western Africa). The randomization test and circumplex covariance structure modeling were used to investigate the fit of Holland's circumplex model across these regions. Results provide preliminary evidence for the generalizability of Holland's model in the African context. Inspection of the angular locations of the six vocational personality types in two-dimensional space indicated slight disordering of the types in the Eastern Africa region and the correct ordering of the types in the Southern and Western African regions. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
