Development of an appearance validity instrument for educational technology in health

Abstract

Objectives: to develop and evaluate the convergence of the instrument for the appearance validity of educational technologies in health. Methods: methodological study conducted in two steps. In step 1, the instrument items were developed, with subsequent content validity by nine specialists in the development of educational technologies in health. In step 2, the convergent validity between another instrument and the appearance instrument was performed. Correlation results above r> 0.3 and p <0.05 were considered as plausible convergent validity. Results: the ten items of the initial version of the appearance instrument were submitted to content validity that resulted in a final version with 12 items (Content Validity Index = 0.93). The correlation indexes were strong with the objective and appearance domains; moderate with motivation, organization and total; and weak with writing style. Conclusions: the appearance instrument demonstrated content validity and convergent validity, in addition to a strong correlation with the other instrument.

School Nursing Guide for student health promotion: construction and validity

“…After theoretical saturation, we tested the guide appearance and content validity, its reliability was assessed. Appearance validity is the aesthetic representation consisting of lines, shapes, colors and movement of images, which must harmonize with the information content ( 25 ) . And content validity constitutes a representation of a relevant sample of the universe of content that educational technology needs to contain ( 26 ) .…”

“…For the judges, an invitation was sent by e-mail in December 2021 explaining the objectives and procedures for assessing the technology appearance and content, in addition to a copy of the ICF, a copy of the guide, a form for a brief characterization of these judges, the Health Educational Technology Appearance Validity Instrument (HETAVI) ( 25 ) and the Health Educational Content Validity Instrument (HECVI) ( 26 ) .…”

“…The HETAVI consists of 12 items on the style of illustrations, colors, shapes and distribution of figures on a 5-point Likert scale ( 25 ) . The HECVI consists of 18 items, divided into three domains: objectives (five), structure/presentation (ten) and relevance (three).…”

“…The items were scored using a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 2 (0 = disagree, 1 = partially agree, and 2 = strongly agree) 9 . Another instrument with 12 questions was used for appearance validation, with Likert scales ranging from 1 to 5 (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = partially disagree, 4 = agree, and 5 = strongly agree) 10 …”
