Providing business training to 3,000 small-scale Malaysian entrepreneurs under the B40 socioeconomic category, FLP operates under the auspices of the Income Enhancement Initiative (Inisiatif Pendapatan Rakyat or IPR), led by the Ministry of Economy. The program offers financial incentives to aid small-scale entrepreneurs in starting and enhancing their business operations. The FLP strategically aims to strengthen financial literacy, managerial skills, and future financial capacity of its participants, thereby contributing to the sustainability of their businesses. The large scale and participant base of the program necessitate the importance of high-quality modules for successful training outcomes. The QAMM framework is central to the development of 45 comprehensive modules across five thematic areas within FLP. Unique in its approach, the framework integrates educational assessment theories and methodologies, serving as a pivotal instrument for ensuring uniform and consistent training delivery. It employs constructive alignment to align training delivery with skill acquisition goals, thereby fulfilling intended objectives and ensuring high content validity. This paper articulates the theoretical foundations, components, elements, and practical applications of the QAMM framework. Significantly, the QAMM framework is utilized not only in module development but also in module evaluation, which is conducted concurrently with the module development. This ongoing evaluation provides continuous data for module improvement, exemplifying a dynamic approach to evaluation approach in entrepreneurial training. The paper delves into the innovative use of educational assessment methodologies in module development framework, addressing a significant research gap in the effectiveness of business training for small-scale entrepreneurs in developing countries.

Several factors are identified in the literature as contributing to the loss of research candidates from the research programme they enrol in. According to Brown and Atkins (1990, as cited in Faizah 2006), the factors include difficulties with methodological skills, problems of isolation and more serious commitment given to life outside their research among the part-time students. Sayed et al (1998) who conducted a longitudinal study on the difficulties faced by ten research students provided relevant input for best practices in research supervision. This paper reports on a study conducted in Malaysia with the aim to investigate the demographic profiles and the strategies employed by 76 successful PhD graduates (53% female, 47% male) who completed their studies either abroad or locally. A questionnaire which comprise two parts (Part A: Learning Cha...
