## Abstract

One of the most popular tools that is used to evaluate education quality is the Student Evaluation of Education Quality (SEEQ). This local data study examined the SEEQ’s psychometric properties in Omani education, specifically its validity and reliability.

This was quantitative research to assess educational quality from the students’ viewpoint. The study was conducted at Muscat College from January to March 2024.Simple randomization implemented at the course level helped to choose the participants. All students registered in the specified courses were asked to take part after a random sample of the courses Muscat College offers throughout the study term was chosen. Five hundred fifty students completed the survey. AMOS was used to conduct confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and PSS was used to evaluate the internal consistency (IBM Corp., 2024a, 2024b).

CFA of the SEEQ indicated that the eight -factor solution best fit the data. Results also showed that the SEEQ has overall good-to-excellent reliability. The adapted scale was psychometrically sound, proving SEEQ’s applicability

This study proposes using SEEQ to measure Oman’s education quality.
