Abstract
The purpose of this article is to discuss the development and assessment of the Adult Learning and Development Student Satisfaction Scale (ALDSS Scale). The ALDSS Scale was designed to measure student satisfaction regarding the following six factor groups: (1) curriculum, (2) learning format, (3) course materials, (4) program access, (5) faculty and instruction, and (6) faculty advising. During a three year period, the ALDSS Scale was administered to students nearing graduation from an adult learning and development master’s degree program. The article addresses the rate of reliability among the six factor groups and how the reliability measurements change when specific items are deleted from the ALDSS Scale. The researchers measured the construct reliability bias among the six factor groups with respect to race.
