Course evaluation instrumentation: Development and validation for alignment with teaching effectiveness and learner outcomes
Background
Student course evaluations provide essential feedback on teaching effectiveness and course quality. However, nursing education requires measurement tools aligned with competency-based education standards and evidence-based teaching practices to yield meaningful improvement data.
Aim
Develop a comprehensive instrument for students and faculty that accurately reflects evidence-based teaching indicators while providing actionable feedback for continuous quality improvement in nursing education courses.
Methods
A task force employed a modified Delphi approach to identify quality categories and performance indicators, subsequently distributing candidate items to faculty for input. The instrument underwent rigorous evaluation using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with an analysis dataset (N = 1,337) followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with an independent validation dataset (N = 1,056).
Results
The finalized 26-item instrument demonstrated excellent sampling adequacy (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin = 0.966) with significant sphericity (x2 [210] = 27,285; p < 0.001). The first 5 factors explained 79.7% of variance, with CFA results confirming the factor structure.
Conclusions
This systematically developed course evaluation tool provides nursing educators with valid and reliable measures of teaching effectiveness and course quality that align with best practices while offering concrete metrics for targeted improvement efforts.
