Development and Psychometric Examination of the Inclusive Teaching Strategies in Nursing Education Instrument
Nurse educators can improve inclusivity using Universal Design for Instruction (UDI). This study evaluated the Inclusive Teaching Strategies in Nursing Education (ITSinNE) instrument, finding it requires further development for measuring UDI adoption.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Psychology
- Instructional Design
Background:
- Nurse educators may inadvertently exclude students through current teaching methods.
- Universal Design for Instruction (UDI) principles promote accessible learning environments but are underutilized in nursing education.
- The 55-item Inclusive Teaching Strategies in Nursing Education (ITSinNE) instrument was developed to assess these strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the psychometric properties of the ITSinNE instrument.
- To evaluate the reliability and validity of a tool designed to measure inclusive teaching practices in nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Confirmatory factor analysis was employed.
- Data were collected from 311 nurse educators in prelicensure programs.
Main Results:
- The ITSinNE scales demonstrated good to adequate reliability.
- The exogenous model showed a good fit with the data.
- The endogenous model did not achieve an adequate fit, indicating areas for improvement.
Conclusions:
- The ITSinNE instrument requires further refinement and development.
- Future research should investigate factors influencing nurse educators' adoption of UDI.
- Intervention research is needed to enhance professional development for inclusive teaching and learning in nursing education.
