Purpose The purpose of this study was to develop a valid measure for assessing clinical teaching effectiveness within the field of physical therapy.
Methods The Clinical Teaching Effectiveness Questionnaire (CTEQ) was developed via a 4-stage process, including (1) initial content development, (2) content analysis with 8 clinical instructors with over 5 years of clinical teaching experience, (3) pilot testing with 205 clinical instructors from 2 universities in the Northeast of the United States, and (4) psychometric evaluation, including principal component analysis.
Results The scale development process resulted in a 30-item questionnaire with 4 sections that relate to clinical teaching: learning experiences, learning environment, communication, and evaluation.
Conclusion The CTEQ provides a preliminary valid measure for assessing clinical teaching effectiveness in physical therapy practice.
