GARCIA, Marta Fernandes  y  SILVA, Dirceu da. DISTANCE LEARNING TEACHER TRAINING COURSE EVALUATION SCALE. ETD - Educ. Temat. Digit. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.4, pp.969-989.  Epub 27-Jun-2021. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v22i4.8655550.

The article presents the process of construction and validation of a scale to evaluate the quality of distance learning teacher training courses. Four procedures were used: (1) review of the literature; (2) theoretical or face validation; (3) semantic validation and (4) statistical validation, by use the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), with the generation of a second-order construct (Quality) using SmartPLS 2.0 software. The Likert scale was structured based on the request to assign a grade between zero and 10 and made available on an online platform. The validation of the Distance Learning Teacher Training Course Evaluation Scale had a sample of 1,060 students from different undergraduate courses in Brazil. The results of the various steps: discriminant and predictive validity, compound reliability, alpha and Cronbach, path coefficients and effect size presented very adequate validation indicators. Thus, the conclusion of the work is a validated and reliable research instrument, with 83 items and 8 constructs, which can contribute to the evaluation of teacher education courses at a distance level.
