A Review of the GILO Self-assessment Questionnaire

The GILO self-assessment questionnaire is now almost a decade old. In July 2020, a working group was formed to kick-start a review of the survey items used. The working group agreed that there was an urgent need to review items on Global Perspectives (GILO 7) to improve their validity. It was estimated that the review will take about one year, and will involve a literature review, piloting of new/ replacement items (on at least 200 students), data analysis and substantial documentation efforts. Given the amount of work involved, it was suggested that the items for all seven GILOs be reviewed in stages. In this project, the team aims to: (a) identify the approach and methodology to review the items in the question bank of the GILO self-assessment questionnaire with reference to the Rubrics for Generic Intended Learning Outcomes (GILO Rubrics); (b) develop new/ replacement items for GILO 7 (Global Perspectives) in the question bank of the GILO self-assessment questionnaire with reference to the GILO Rubrics; (c) pilot the new/ replacement items for validation and reliability purposes; and (d) collect feedback on the new/ replacement items.
