ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the construct validity of a
questionnaire to evaluate the virtual learning environment
of the online course of the Family Medicine
Research Seminar.
Methods: Cross-sectional, observational,
exploratory multivariate study. 110 students
participated during six academic cycles of the
Family Medicine Research Seminar course. A virtual
classroom was designed in a Moodle environment;
a questionnaire with 37 Likert-type questions and
semantic differential was applied to evaluate the
virtual environment of the course. Factor analysis
was used to determine the construct validity of the
questionnaire. Student participation was voluntary,
anonymous and in accordance with the norms, recommendations
and ethical guidelines in educational
research.
Results: The variance explained by the
model was 80.03% with varimax factor rotation; the
determinant of the multiple correlation matrix and
Bartlett’s sphericity test were significant (p ‹ 0.0001);
the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Index value was 0.613; eight
factors were retained and Cronbach’s alpha reliability
was 0.87.
Conclusions: The construct validity of the
questionnaire to evaluate the virtual learning environment
of the online course of the research seminar
was determined. Seven criteria of the factor analysis
exceeded the minimum expected reference values.
The global evaluation of the construct validity model
was adequate.
