Measurement Scales of Reactions to the Assessment of Graduate Programs: Evidences of Factorial Validity

Abstract The propose was to seek validity evidences of scales based on the model of reactions of higher education professors about the evaluation of graduate programs conducted by the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education (Capes). The scales of satisfaction, justice perception, utility perception, and accuracy perception were applied on 814 higher education professors, being 50.36% males, with a mean age of 47.66 years (SD = 9.34). Exploratory analysis indicated reliability of the four scales (alphas ranged from .69 to .97 and omegas are from .70). These and other psychometric indicators of the scales indicate that the measures are reliable, and the reaction model was confirmed by the strong correlation between the scales.
