Student Awareness of Space Science: Rasch Model Analysis for Validity and Reliability

“…Through increased STEM education in most countries globally, teachers and university lecturers alike are concerned with developing science education and educating students about the importance of science in the future (Abdullah et al, 2018;Camilli & Hira, 2019;Waite & McDonald, 2019). The UKM-SIDπ program is a successful activity for high school students, which increases student interest in learning science (Abdullah et al, 2015;Abdullah et al, 2018). The questionnaire created in this study is one way to determine how students respond to the subject of space science in a program designed by educators and lecturers to raise awareness among future students.…”

“…In Malaysia, one of the initiatives to boost student interest in STEM fields is the implementation of outreach programs through STEM university grants. The Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia-Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance π (UKM-SIDπ) program is a platform for secondary school students to engage with space science through hands-on activities (Abdullah et al, 2015;Abdullah et al, 2018;Rosli et al, 2019;Soon et al, 2015;Wah et al, 2012). Activities such as designing the antenna or collecting, analyzing, and verifying data with experts from the university were planned for students to participate actively during the program (Abdullah et al, 2015;Majid et al, 2018).…”
