respondent’s degree of satisfaction (five-point Liekert scale) with his/her
program of study such as the type of courses taken, instructors exposed to,
academic advisement provided, and field experiences taken.
. Suggested modifications. Respondents were asked to rate on a five-point scale
whether modifications should be introduced in terms of eight measures including
the length of the program, course sequence, and program emphasis. Respondents
were also requested to suggest the type of changes they recommended when they
felt that changes should be made.
. Program effectiveness. This nine-item section was designed to measure the
degree (five-point scale) to which the graduates felt their program of study
was effective in equipping them with specific skills, namely strategic
planning, instructional leadership, development of political skills, and
analysis of existing educational policies.

question two requests whether the respondent would recommend the program to
a colleague and the reason(s) why.

questions to state how the program affected their income, rank, position, job
performance, perception towards the profession, perception of self, and
