This study validated the Peer Teaching Experience Questionnaire for nursing students. Findings indicate the questionnaire has adequate structure and reliability for assessing peer teaching in nursing education.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Peer-assisted learning is increasingly important in nursing education.
- Effective tools are needed to evaluate student experiences with peer teaching.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the factor structure of the Peer Teaching Experience Questionnaire.
- To assess the reliability and dimensionality of the questionnaire among nursing undergraduates.
Main Methods:
- Exploratory factor analysis was used to analyze data from 257 third-year undergraduate nursing students.
- The 14-item Peer Teaching Experience Questionnaire was administered.
- Items with factor loadings greater than ±0.40 were used.
Main Results:
- Factor analysis revealed three factors with eigenvalues above 1.
- These factors accounted for 47.3% of the total variance.
- Preliminary results suggest adequate dimensionality and reliability.
Conclusions:
- The Peer Teaching Experience Questionnaire demonstrates adequate dimensionality and reliability.
- This supports its use in evaluating peer teaching experiences in nursing education.
