Validation of an evaluation instrument for the flipped classroom active methodology

Abstract

Active methodologies are understood as ways to develop the learning process and construct critical training with future professionals in the most diverse areas, favoring the autonomy of the student in their learning, ecouraging individual and collective decision-making. The objective of this study, as well as its methodological path, seeks to validate the evaluation instrument used in the Flipped Classroom Active Methodology. Developed by teachers of the nursing course and based on bloom taxonomy of the Cognitive Domain, the instrument contains twenty items to be evaluated. For validation, the psychometric properties of validity and reliability related to Pasquali’s psychometry were used. Verified through the Content Validity Index (CVI), it measures the proportion of evaluators who are in agreement with the instrument’s items, using an agreement of at least 80% among the evaluators as a decision criterion on the pertinence and acceptance of the item. The instrument was evaluated by 8 participants considered experienced in the area, using a 4-point Likert scale. The reliability criterion, analyzed using the IBM SPSS® software, presented a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.94 and the validity criterion reached 70% agreement between the evaluators. It is concluded that the instrument is reliable, however, regarding the validity criterion, it needs adjustments to represent what it intends.
