Objective: The purpose of the present study was to validate the applicability of the Connected Curriculum Questionnaire (Fung, 2017) across three fields: basic sciences, engineering, humanities, and social sciences at the University of Kurdistan. Methods: To achieve this objective, the main questionnaire in English was translated by two experts in the field of translation, and it was subsequently evaluated by two experts in the field of education. Then, a consensus was reached on the final version. The research method employed in this study was survey research. The statistical population comprised all 483 faculty members from three faculties of science, engineering, and humanities and social sciences. A stratified sample of 112 faculty members was selected. To analyze the data, SPSS 26 was employed, and to fit the measurement model, the SmartPLS 3 was utilized. Results: The results indicated that the Connected Curriculum Framework, with its seven dimensions, is robust, appropriate, and highly effective when assessing the measurement model, as evidenced by Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, convergent and divergent validity indices. Moreover, the measurement model demonstrates a robust structure, as indicated by the Z, R2, and Q2 indices. Conclusion: It can be inferred that the Connected Curriculum Questionnaire serves as a valuable tool for research in the Iranian higher education context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
