Content validity for innovation level of UTM undergarduate students: a quantitative approach

Innovation has become one of the vital aspects of a nation's human capital development. Most countries including Malaysia are now putting their best effort to increase their innovation capability in order to be more competitive in various aspects, especially in economy and technology. As one of...
