development and Statistic Analysis of Psychology- Numerology Module for Character building in Malaysia
Phase 1 Findings: development of Psycho- Psycho-Numerology Module for Character building in
Malaysia: In the first phase, the researchers managed to construct modules, sub-modules and activities based on Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). Psycho-Numerology Module for Character Building in Malaysia development involves the development of modules and sub-modules, self-activity of six sub-module and 28 activities based on the theory of self-CBT.
The findings of Phase 2: Content Validity of Psycho-Numerology Module for Character building in Malaysia: The construction of the module is also like developing a questionnaire in which they were assessed for their validity. This module shows the validity application of internal and external experts. For this study, two methods of expert’s authentication were conducted;
a) the content validity based on suggestion by Russell2 (1974) with five statements about the validity of the content of modules and b) the validity of the division of constructs (session/strategy) and sub-constructs (activity in the sessions) as proposed by Mohammad Aziz Shah1 (2010). Othman Mohamed10 (2008) suggested that six (6) to nine (9) experts are required to evaluate the construct and study items.
The panel of experts were given a questionnaire relating to the validity of Psycho-Numerology module that consists of two sections. Part A is the Module Validity Survey based on recommendations by Russell2 (1974), which outlines five important criteria in the procurement
of good validity for a developed module. While section B is Content Validity Questionnaire and Compliance Sessions and Events module which was developed by Mohammad Aziz Shah1 (2010) for a detailed validity test of the entire module and sub module. The panel of selected experts must provide feedback with the scale of approval from 0 (strongly disagree) to 10 (strongly agree). Furthermore, experts also need to provide feedback on the validity of the questionnaire and the validity of the approved activity using the same scale, i.e. 0 (strongly disagree) to 10 (strongly agree).
This expert panel assessment results have established the validity of the content modules as suggested by Russell2 (1974) in Table 1 below;
