    The global shift towards degree apprenticeships, exemplified by the University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, addresses the imminent challenges posed by the projected rise in the working-age population in India by 2030. This change underscores the critical need for a comprehensive scale to assess administrators' perceptions and attitudes towards implementing the Apprenticeship Education Degree Programme (AEDP). Addressing this gap, the present study aims to develop the Administrators' Perception and Attitude Scale towards Apprenticeship Programme (APAS-TAP), a context-specific scale tailored to the unique nuances of the Indian educational landscape. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design, selecting 180 administrators through purposive sampling from schools, colleges, and universities in West Bengal, India. The APAS-TAP underwent rigorous development and testing, involving expert panels for content validity assessment using the content validity index (CVI) and content validity ratio (CVR). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) determined the latent variables of APAS-TAP, while Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) evaluated construct validity, and Cronbach's alpha ensured internal consistency. The Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique examined the research model, and the goodness-of-fit (GoF) index assessed the model's appropriateness. The CVI and CVR values surpassed acceptable thresholds (CVI > 0.78 and CVR > 0.75). Internal consistency, indicated by Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.951), signified high reliability. The GoF index (CMIN/DF = 2.981) validated the model's appropriateness. The APAS-TAP emerges as a valid and reliable tool, providing crucial insights into administrators' perceptions and attitudes towards AEDP in the 'Rarh region' of West Bengal, India. Stakeholders can leverage this scale to identify gaps and enhance the quality of training, awareness, breadth, assessment, learning outcomes, quality management, and truthfulness in the context of AEDP. This study contributes significantly to the field by providing a robust scale for future research and policy development.
  • The development and validation of a tool measuring administrators' attitude towards the Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Program
    Arnab Kundu, Jitendranath Gorai, Gavisiddappa R. Angadi
    Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2024
    PurposeThe aim of this study was the development and validation (D&V) of an assessment tool to measure administrators' attitudes towards the ‘Apprenticeship Embedded Degree Program (AEDP)’ in higher education institutions (HEIs).Design/methodology/approachA rigorous empirical method was followed encompassing four D&V phases: literature review, theoretical or face validation, validation with possible respondents or semantic validation and statistical validation. A pilot study was conducted among 150 randomly selected administrators from 50 different HEIs in India. The collected data were analyzed for statistical validation using exploratory factor analysis followed by confirmatory factor analysis.FindingsThe final version of the 21-item three-dimensional scale was found effective having significant degrees of reliability and validity. Exploratory factor analysis endorsed the factor extractions and data adequacy. The average variance extracted (AVE) for the three constructs (0.59, 0.70 and 0.66, respectively) were higher than the threshold value of 0.5, authorizing the convergent validity. The Cronbach alpha values (0.79, 0.81 and 0.77) were higher than the threshold value of 0.70, endorsing factors as reliable. Confirmatory factor analysis ascertained the multi-dimensionality of the scale and model fit having passable convergent validity. Discriminant validity (DV) was determined using the Fornell-Larcker criterion.Research limitations/implicationsThe newly developed “Administrators’ Attitude towards AEDP Scale” will serve as a valid psychometric tool for future research accosting AEDP implementation. It could be administered as an electronic tool as well, subject to potential adjustments reducing the identified ceiling effects and floor effects.Originality/valueThe scale is a unique addition to the allied literature based on an original empirical survey finding conducted in India.
