摘要

背景　有鑒於過去相關實證（evidence-based）研究，較少針對以護理專業核心能力為內涵，發展護理專業核心課程評量工具。因此，研發具有客觀性與專業性的護理核心課程教學評量工具，有其需要與重要性。目的　本研究目的主要是藉由項目分析及探索性因素分析，初步發展以護理專業核心能力為內涵之教學評量工具。方法　本研究共分四階段，包括：問卷內容初擬、專家效度、隨機抽樣及進行探索性因素分析（exploratory factor analysis, EFA）。結果　探索性因素分析共包括三個因素，分別為「教學準備與進行」、「教學促進」、「教學評量」，各分量表解釋變異量為43.1%、12.9%、7.5%，共可解釋63.5%。整體量表的信度為.904，各分量表相關係數皆為中度正相關。結論　研究結果顯示，此量表具有良好信度與效度，將能做為評量教師在護理專業課程教學成效的客觀性指標。

Background: There have been few evidence-based assessments of nursing education core curricula. To conduct such assessments effectively, researchers need an objective professional tool that addresses the principal competencies of the nursing profession.Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a preliminary assessment tool to improve teaching effectiveness in nursing core curricula.Methods: This study was divided into four stages: (a) initial questionnaire content proposal, (b) expert validation, (c) random sampling, and (d) item and exploratory factor analysis.Results: We used exploratory factor analysis to analyze three factors, namely (a) learning preparation, (b) advancement of competence, and (c) learning evaluation. These three factors explained, respectively, 43.1%, 12.9%, and 7.5% of total variance; the three together explained 63.5% of total variance. Overall questionnaire reliability was .904. All correlation coefficients displayed moderately positive relationships among subscales.Conclusions: The assessment tool developed in this study showed reliability and validity in the evaluation of teaching outcomes for nursing core curricula.
