Abstract: Peer assessment is not commonly practiced in the Malaysian higher education institutions especially for TVET students. There are several factors leading to this deficiency in our higher education system: existence of very few student-centred learning practices, poor knowledge in the peer assessment implementation, a lack of integrity in conducting the peer assessment, a low level of validity in the peer assessment process. This study examines the validity and reliability of the students' integrity and quality of peer-assessment questionnaire. This study adopted a quantitative design by using the survey approach, and the random sampling method was employed to recruit 172 TVET students. The integrity questionnaire yields these results: The Keiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy is 0.891 and the Bartlett's test of sphericity is χ² = 6,885.733, df = 1,540, p = 0.000. As a conclusion, the student's integrity questionnaire is valid and reliable, and hence suitable for testing the level of integrity of students during the peer assessment exercise. This questionnaire can be used in the future for measuring the student's integrity and quality of peer assessment, in line with the aspirations of the Industrial Revolution 4.0.
