Measuring health care providers' learning after they have participated in educational interventions that use experimental designs requires valid, reliable, and practical instruments.
A literature review was conducted. In addition, experience gained from designing and validating instruments for measuring the effect of an educational intervention informed this process.
The eight main steps for designing, validating, and testing the reliability of instruments for measuring learning outcomes are presented. The key considerations and rationale for this process are discussed. Methods for critiquing and adapting existent instruments and creating new ones are offered.
This study may help other investigators in developing valid, reliable, and practical instruments for measuring the outcomes of educational activities.
在医疗服务提供者参与采用实验设计的教育干预措施后，衡量他们的学习情况需要有效、可靠且实用的工具。
进行了文献综述。此外，在设计和验证用于衡量教育干预效果的工具过程中获得的经验也为这一过程提供了参考。
介绍了设计、验证和测试用于衡量学习成果的工具的可靠性的八个主要步骤。讨论了这一过程的关键考虑因素和基本原理。提供了评估和改编现有工具以及创建新工具的方法。
本研究可能有助于其他研究人员开发有效、可靠且实用的工具来衡量教育活动的成果。
