Implications of the research findings are discussed in this paper. These four methods of enhancing the reliability of qualitative research will be discussed. The findings-suggest that PSLQ is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to measure self-determined learning among postgraduate students. Qualitative researchers can enhance reliability by ensuring research worker reliability, variations in observations, and the use of various data collection techniques such as the test-retest method and split-half method. The instrument demonstrated excellent internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha value of =0.959. The total number of items in PSLQ has been reduced to 42, after 17 items were removed. The results of EFA revealed that PSLQ measures four distinct factors learner-centered learning, interactive non-linear learning, double-loop reflection, and capacity development, which accounted for 54.22% of the variance in self-determined learning. The original version of PSLQ has 59 items and it was administered to a sample of 201 postgraduate students from a research-intensive university in Malaysia. This study aims to examine the validity and reliability of the PSLQ through exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The Postgraduate Self-Determined Learning Questionnaire (PSLQ) was specifically developed to fill in the gaps. There is a lack of validated research instruments to measure self-determined learning among postgraduate students. Postgraduate students have to play active roles in self-determined learning, as major agent in their own learning and research activities.
