Designing and validating a questionnaire for the use of MOOCs in Virtual Education Development in First Macro-Region Universities of Medical Sciences in Countrywide Territorial Planning

The purpose of this study is to design and validate a questionnaire for the use of MOOCs in virtual education Development in First Macro-Region Universities of Medical Sciences in Countrywide Territorial Planning.

The research method is descriptive, which was carried out in two phases of designing and checking the validity and reliability of the questionnaire in 1400. CVI and CVR methods were used to check the content validity and exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate the structural validity. Also, its reliability was determined by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and internal homogeneity index. Also, the obtained Cronbach's alpha coefficient shows the high reliability and reproducibility of the questionnaire.

Based on the results of the questionnaire, 112 verified indicators were divided into eight main structural, educational, technological, social, managerial, individual, cultural, and evaluation dimensions. All the dimensions and indicators identified in this research have the appropriate validity and reliability to examine the model of using MOOCs in the development of virtual education in universities of medical sciences.

Considering the acceptable validity and reliability of the studied questionnaire, this tool can be used to investigate the use of MOOCs in the development of virtual education in medical sciences universities.
