“…The instrument is based on the use of a factor analysis technique (Mardia, Kent & Bibby, 1979). There are some works in the literature using this technique for educational purposes, for instance (O´Neil & Abedi, 1996;Pohlmann, 2004). This paper is organized as follows: section 2 presents the methodology, including the sample characteristics, the sampling procedure, a description of the instrument structure and finally the statistical tool used; section 3 describes the application of the methodology and the main results obtained.…”

Título: Estructura factorial y estabilidad de un cuestionario sobre la calidad de un programa de postgrado. Resumen: En este trabajo se describe un instrumento basado en el uso de una técnica de análisis factorial con el fin de medir la calidad de la educación a través de una muestra de estudiantes de postgrado de una universidad pública española. El instrumento tiene unas aceptables propiedades psicométricas (fiabilidad y validez). En cuanto a la solución factorial, tres dimensiones principales se han determinado: la importancia dada a la materia; recursos educativos y conocimiento de la materia (anterior y posterior). Es importante destacar que estas tres dimensiones se han detectado consistentemente en todo el análisis factorial: muestra total y cursos separados. Estas tres dimensiones deben ser consideradas como aspectos fundamentales en el diseño de un instrumento para evaluar la calidad educativa. Estos hallazgos pueden ser tomados como base para el diseño de estrategias futuras para la evaluación de la calidad educativa en otro tipo de estudios dentro del área de la educación superior. Palabras clave: calidad educativa, análisis factorial, fiabilidad, recursos educativos y validez.Abstract: In this work we describe an instrument based on the use of a factor analysis technique in order to measure the quality of education within a Postgraduate degree offered by a public Spanish university. We showed that the instrument has satisfactory psychometric properties (reliability and validity). Regarding the factorial solution, three main dimensions have been determined, namely: importance given to the subject; educational resources and knowledge of the subject (previous and posterior). It is important to remark that these three dimensions were consistently detected in all the factorial analyses performed (total sample and separate academic years). These three dimensions should be considered as fundamental when designing an instrument to evaluate educational quality. These findings may be taken as a basis for the design of future strategies for the evaluation of educational quality on other type of degrees within the higher education area.

“…This conforms to the results of the both the scree plot test and Horn's parallel analysis. Horn's parallel analysis is more accurate in determining the number of factors to be extracted (Pohlmann, 2004); the first (3.262 > 0.775) and second (0.984 > 0.503) eigenvalues extracted from the actual data were larger than the corresponding 95 th percentile random data eigenvalue, and thus were retained for interpretation (Ledesma & Valero-Mora, 2007). The two factors explained a total variance of 63.23%, with factors 1 and 2 accounting for 47.77% and 15.45% respectively.…”

“…Kaiser's criterion, scree test and Horn's parallel analysis were used in a rather complimentary manner to determine the number of factors to be extracted. However, Horn's parallel analysis is regarded as the most accurate (Pohlmann, 2004) given the tendencies of both Kaiser's criterion and scree test to overestimate the number of factors to retain (Hayton, Allen, & Scarpello, 2004). Of the two major methods of factor rotation, namely: orthogonal and oblique, the latter method was used because it allows factors to be correlated (Hooper, 2012).…”

“…The principal axis factoring (PAF) extraction method was selected because it yields more stable loadings than other methods of factor extraction such as principal components analysis (PCA) (De Winter & Dodou, 2012). There is no rule for determining interpretation cut-off (Pohlmann, 2004), but a factor loading of 0.4 is recommended for increased factor saturation (Ferguson & Cox, 1993). Kaiser's criterion, scree test and Horn's parallel analysis were used in a rather complimentary manner to determine the number of factors to be extracted.…”
