Development and validation of research capabilities test and evaluation it's in graduate students of Tehran, Allameh Tabatabaei, Shahid Beheshti and Mohaghegh Ardabili University

Abstract: This study aimed to development and validation of test research capabilities and evaluation it’s in graduate students. Methodology of research is survey and cross-correlation research. The population was the graduate students in the master's program in University of Tehran, Allameh Tabatabaei, Shahid Beheshti and Mohaghegh Ardabili. This study was simple random sampling. Number of samples based on Kregci-Morgan table, 377 person were selected. Researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data for research capabilities. Validity was approved by the faculty and the reliability factor 0/97 Cronbach's alpha was calculated. Exploratory factor analysis using principal components with regard to the issue of higher loadings of 0/40 showed that 9 factor extraction that %64/44 of the variance could be derived to explain research capabilities. High internal consistency alpha coefficient for the agent (the 0/66 to 0/94) showed. The results of feature parameters of two independent group’s t-test showed that male and female students in some of research capabilities were significantly different.
