“…This means that items in RLT has fulfilled the two assumptions of RMM. To identify the research literacy level, the threshold of research literacy level was firstly determined using item strata which can be calculated using this formula: H = (4Q + 1)/3 where Q is item separation index obtained in Winstep [32] [33]. After the thresholds were determined, respondents were classified into each level based on their person measure (person ability).…”

Research literacy is defined as the ability to search and identify relevant research articles from relevant resources, and interpret and evaluate research articles. Although there is increasing literature on the importance of research literacy, empirical data on research literacy concept is still lacking especially in the field of education. Therefore, based on the meta-data analysis, this study conceptualizes research literacy and develops Research Literacy Test (RLT) composes of three main components such as information literacy, knowledge of research methodology and statistical literacy. This study determines research literacy level of postgraduate research students in education using the Rasch Measurement Model (RMM). After confirming that all items in RLT are statistically reliable and valid for the operational use, the test then distributed to 236 postgraduate research students in the field of education from five research universities in Malaysia. Findings show that the level of overall research literacy, knowledge of research methodology and statistical literacy of postgraduate students are at Moderate Low, while their information literacy level is at Moderate High. Due to the lack of research literacy, postgraduate students should not be left alone to pick up research skills as and when they could in the process of doing research. Faculty should consider improvising the current status and function of the existing research related courses. Encouragement from the supervisor is also essential. Lastly, postgraduate students themselves should take the initiative in updating their research literacy by participating in a range of appropriate activities and share their research with others.

“…Furthermore, past studies have been focusing on degree holders in Malaysia from public universities (Ahmad et al, 2014;Putit et al, 2012). However, within the hospitality field, employees with a diploma qualification in hotels around Peninsula Malaysia are the largest group of employees that ranges between 21.0 to 53.2% (Abdul Majid et al, 2017;Suhairom et al, 2016). The situation calls for an in-depth look into the career decision-making process of diploma graduates to continuously support the supply of labour within the industry.…”

A pretest is an integral aspect of a quantitative study as it highlights the improvisation needed to create effective survey questionnaires. It is important to administer a pretest to ensure the actual data collection can be properly conducted. This paper is part of ongoing research which describes the process of conducting a pretest through the distribution of survey questionnaires on an online platform. The pretest was conducted on hospitality and tourism students from two private colleges in Klang Valley. Steps on the expert review to evaluate the validity of the instrument are discussed in detail. The challenges faced in selecting participants and establishing contact with the targeted population are described. This included overcoming communication issues which needed to be done online because of the pandemic restrictions which limits the possibility of physical meeting with the representative of the selected colleges to seek permission for the study to be conducted. This paper discusses the execution as well as findings from the pretest and the improvement done in developing an effective survey questionnaire.
