    A new test, the Schmidt VD Knowledge Evaluator, was developed to assess elementary teachers' understanding of venereal diseases. This reliable 45-item test is suitable for educational programs.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Education
    • Psychometrics
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Elementary school teachers require accurate knowledge of venereal diseases to inform students.
    • Existing assessment tools may not adequately measure teacher knowledge in this area.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a reliable test measuring elementary school teachers' knowledge of venereal diseases.
    • To create an instrument for assessing knowledge related to syphilis, gonorrhea, and other venereal diseases.

    Main Methods:

    • Adherence to scientific test construction procedures, including content outline and table of specifications.
    • Expert review, pilot testing, item analysis, and iterative revision.
    • Application of Kuder-Richardson formula for reliability estimation.

    Main Results:

    • Development of the Schmidt VD Knowledge Evaluator, a 45-item multiple-choice test.
    • The test demonstrates face validity through rigorous construction procedures.
    • Reliability estimated at 0.79 using the Kuder-Richardson formula.

    Conclusions:

    • The Schmidt VD Knowledge Evaluator is a valid and reliable instrument.
    • The test is suitable for pre- and post-testing in teacher in-service programs, workshops, and seminars.
    • The instrument can be used for teachers, school nurses, and similar professional groups.
