ABSTRACT
Objectives:
to validate the educational technology “Educational Material on HIV” (INPI - BR 10 2020 003765 0).
Methods:
a methodological study with 39 expert judges in HIV/AIDS, using a 5-point Likert scale for assessment. Data were tabulated, processed and analyzed through descriptive analysis. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega tests were performed to analyze internal consistency, and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, for reliability. Agreement was established by a Level Content Validity Index greater than 0.90.
Results:
the assessment instrument showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89; McDonald’s omega of 0.91) with reliable values. Based on the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, judges’ answers showed acceptable reliability, mean score 0.89 (p<0.001). Agreement among judges was greater than 0.90 in the three assessed dimensions (objectives, presentation and relevance).
Conclusions:
the technology was considered a qualified and adequate tool by the judges regarding its objectives, presentation and relevance.
