摘要：Integrated Cumulative Grade Point Average (iCGPA) assessment is introduced in Malaysia in year 2015 as an assessment system to report the students’ performance in knowledge together with attributes of ethics, leadership and entrepreneurship. The awareness, opinion, implementation and challenges regarding the iCGPA assessment of the lecturers from two faculties of two Malaysian universities were compared. A questionnaire of 29 items with five-point Likert-scale was developed as an instrument. IBM SPSS Statistics 20 was used for statistical analysis. Cronbach’s alpha was used to measure internal consistency. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare the differences between two independent groups via comparison of mean ranks. The awareness, opinion and implementation of iCGPA assessment by the lecturers from A University were significantly higher than those of the lecturers from B University, with p-values of 0.003, 0.041 and 0.006, respectively. Lecturers from A University felt that challenges faced by them were greater as compared to the lecturers from B University, but the difference was not statistically significant. Universities could organize workshops to distribute information about iCGPA assessment and arrange strategies to reduce lecturers’ worries about the increment of workload resulting from the assessment.
