Background:
The Maastricht Clinical Teaching Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the quality of clinical teaching. This study was aimed at translation and psychometric evaluation of the Persian version of this questionnaire to evaluate clinical teaching based on the cognitive apprenticeship model.
Materials And Methods:
The translation of the questionnaire was performed according to Guillemins framework. Reliability was examined by calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Confirmatory factor analysis was studied among 120 medical students. Content validity was assessed by calculating the content validity index and content validity ratio. Face validity was evaluated by conducting interviews with students using concurrent verbal probing and thinking aloud.
Results:
Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the whole scale was 0.95. The content validity index was 0.92, and the content validity ratio was 0.82. Confirmatory factor analysis resulted in a seven-factor model and demonstrated an adequate fit with the data.
Conclusion:
The Persian version of the Maastricht Clinical Teaching Questionnaire with seven factors including modeling, coaching, scaffolding, articulation, reflection, exploration, and learning environment appears to be a valid and reliable instrument for the evaluation of clinical teaching in Iranian universities of medical sciences.
