Adaptation and validation of the Course Experience Questionnaire in the context of post-secondary education in Hong Kong

---

Purpose – The Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) is a quantitative instrument for collecting
student feedback on programme quality that has been tested and practically used in Western
university response-contexts. The purpose of this paper is to adapt and partially validate a Chinese
translation of the CEQ, for application in the new context of post-secondary education in Hong
Kong.
Design/methodology/approach – From a population of about 2,515 students in six institutions,
1,572 responses were obtained, representing a response rate of 62.5 percent. Given that a Chinese CEQ
has never been tested in this new context, an exploratory approach was adopted by examining the
psychometric properties of the CEQ constituent scales and their underlying factor structure as
exhibited via item-correlation analysis and exploratory factor analysis.
Findings – The alpha values of the CEQ scales in the present study are generally lower than those of
the other reported studies. The results of exploratory factor analysis indicate that the degree of overlap
among the constructs as measured by the CEQ scales is more extensive than most other reported
studies, resulting in only four factors being explicitly indicated, with some constructs being
overshadowed by other more salient constructs and failing to exhibit in the factor structure.
Practical implications – While broadly supporting the potential of CEQ-type surveys in informing
the quality endeavour, the findings of the present study (and those of some related tests on Chinese
students that have recently been reported) suggest the need for further development of the CEQ for
application in the Chinese context in general, and the context of Hong Kong post-secondary education
in particular.
Originality/value – The paper cross-validates the CEQ in a new context.Keywords Training evaluation, Questionnaires, China, Further education, Quality
