Background:
Elective as a part of curriculum in medical education was implemented with the aim that students can explore various areas of interest during elective posting within the medical profession with personal interest and career goals to determine the best fit. This study aimed to develop and validate a scale to assess the perception of elective module block-2 among undergraduate medical students.
Materials And Methods:
It was a cross-sectional study in which 181 medical undergraduate students were participated. We conducted a literature search, generated items, and verified the content validity of 40 items. Elective module scale was developed on 26 items following principal component analysis and structural equation modeling where responses to these items were based on a 5-point Likert Scale ranging from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree," A Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to explore the components of each state.
Results:
Factors jointly accounted for 66.5% variance. Cronbach's α =0.947 and McDonald's ω =0.953 of EM-26 indicates a very good internal consistency.
Conclusion:
This study concluded that the developed scale showed good reliability, validity, and psychometric properties.
