    abstract = {Collaborative learning has proven in promoting soft skills development and has been widely
implemented in teaching and learning. However, this study addressed the lack of soft skills issue among
Malaysia polytechnic graduates causing the graduate to face unemployment. It shows that collaboration does
not happen naturally in a group. In previous studies, Online Project Based Collaborative Learning (OPBCL) was
developed based on proposed model in order to enhanced student soft skills. A research testing instrument
called Collaborative Learning Rubric (CLR) developed in order to evaluate the effectiveness of OPBCL. The
main quality indicators for any of testing instrument in research are the validity and reliability. Therefore, this
study aims to determine the validity and reliability of CLR. A number of 32 (N = 32) diploma hotel catering
students from Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan, Johor (PIS) participated in this study. Data obtained was analysed
using WINSTEP Version 3.68 Software. The finding showed that CLR had high reliability with two categories
of difficulties items. So, it can be concluded that CLR is reliable and strongly accepted. All items will remain after
Rasch analysis. It hoped that this study will give emphasis to other researchers about the importance of
analysing items to ensure the quality of an instrument developed.}
