Assessing Culturally Inclusive Instructional Design in Online Learning

• In Event: Assessment in Online Learning Environments

Abstract

This study assessed the psychometric properties of the culturally inclusive instructional design (CIID) scale with 31 items on 7-point likert-scale. An exploratory factor analysis revealed a clear five-factor structure. A confirmatory factor analysis found good factor loadings. The reliability indices were .95 and .94 for the training and validating sample, respectively. The correlations among the factors were all significant indicating the five subscales measuring on the same CIID construct, while non-perfect correlation presented a discrimination power for each subscale measuring the unique dimension of the construct. With further study, the validity and reliability of the instrument will be established to measure culturally inclusive instructional design with an impact on the design, development, and delivery of online learning for cultural inclusivity.
