Objectives: Extant studies report that self-regulated learning affects academic achievement and performance. Therefore, this study aimed to prepare a draft of a self-regulated learning scale to evaluate nursing skills learning based on the cyclical phase model, and to determine its content validity.
Methods: Nine nursing students were interviewed to create an item pool. Next, focus group interviews were held with 6 nursing faculty members and 10 nursing students to refine the item pool and complete the drafting of scale items. Scores on the item-level content validity index (I-CVI) were obtained using a questionnaire survey of 11 nursing faculty members. Subsequently, an expert meeting was held to discuss the results. This study was approved by our university’s Research Ethics Review Committee.
Results: From the initial 175-item pool, 216 draft items were selected. Of these, 134 items had I-CVI values of 0.78 or higher. After further evaluation in the expert panel meeting, the validity of 141 items (23 in the forethought phase, 99 in the performance phase, and 19 in the self-reflection phase) was finally confirmed.
Conclusions: A draft of a self-regulated learning scale for nursing skills was created for nursing students, and the validity of its 141 items was confirmed.
