Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mengukur kesahan Instrumen Kemahiran Generik Penilaian Pensyarah (IKGPP). Instrumen ini mengandungi 77 item dan ditadbirkan oleh 2 orang pensyarah kepada 98 pelajar pra-universiti di salah sebuah kolej matrikulasi Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia. Instrumen ini direka bentuk untuk mengukur 9 konstruk kemahiran iatu Komunikasi; Kepemimpenan; Kerja Berpasukan; Pembelajaran Sepanjang Hayat dan Pengurusan Maklumat; Pemikiran Kritis dan Penyelesaian Masalah; Etika dan Moral Profesionalisme; Keusahawanan; Pengurusan dan Tangungjawab Sosial. 16 item telah digugurkan dengan menggunakan Model Rasch dalam Perisian Winstep 3.64.2. Sejumlah 61 item yang dikekalkan dianalisis kesahannya dengan menggunakan model pengukuran dalam Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) dengan perisian AMOS 5.0. Nilai indeks Comparative Fit Index (CFI >= 0.9), Tucker Lewis Index (TLI >= 0.9), dan RMSEA ( 0.9. Manakala nilai RMSEA berada pada julat < 0.08 yang merupakan indek yang boleh diterima. Kesemua 61 item dapat dikekalkan dengan membuat correlation di antara item-item di dalam konstruk-knostruk tersebut. Instrumen terkini IKGPP ini boleh digunakan untuk menilai pelajar pra-universiti di kolej matrikulasi. Kata kunci: Kemahiran generic; model persamaan struktural (SEM); model pengukuran, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA); instrumen kemahiran generik penilaian pensyarah (IKGPP) The purpose of this study is to measure the validity of the Generic Skills Instrument for Lecturer Assessment (IKGPP). The research instrument contains 77 items and was administered by two lecturers on 98 pre-university students at a Ministry of Education Matriculation College. The instrument was designed to measure nine skill constructs, i.e. Communication; Leadership; Teamwork; Lifelong Learning and Information Management; Critical Thinking and Problem Solving; Ethics and Moral Professionalism; Entrepreneurship; Management and Social Responsibility. Data analyses were done using the Rasch Model, of which Winstep 3.64.2 was used. 16 items were eliminated and the remaining 61 items were analyzed for validity using the measurement model in Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with the AMOS 5.0. The index values for Comparative Fit Index (CFI >= 0.9), Tucker Lewis Index (TLI >= 0.9), and RMSEA ( 0.9 range. The RMSEA value is in the acceptable range of < 0.08. All 61 items were retained by correlating the items in the constructs. The current IKGPP instrument could be used to assess the pre-university students in matriculation college.
