METHODS

This was quantitative research to assess educational quality from the students' viewpoint. The study was conducted at Muscat College from January to March 2024.Simple randomization implemented at the course level helped to choose the participants. All students registered in the specified courses were asked to take part after a random sample of the courses Muscat College offers throughout the study term was chosen. Five hundred fifty students completed the survey. AMOS was used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and PSS was used to evaluate the internal consistency ( IBM Corp., 2024a, 2024b).

RESULTS

CFA of the SEEQ indicated that the eight -factor solution best fit the data. Results also showed that the SEEQ has overall good-to-excellent reliability. The adapted scale was psychometrically sound, proving SEEQ's applicability.
