Read More BACKGROUND AND AIM: Given the absence of a scale specially designed to measure willingnessto mobile learning (m‑learning) in medical sciences students, the present study was conducted todesign and evaluate the psychometric properties of “willingness to m‑learning” scale for medicalsciences students.METHODOLOGY: The study was carried out as a mixed‑method study in two phases at SavehUniversity of Medical Sciences in 2019. Phase one was a qualitative study to elaborate on the students’perception of m‑learning. Then, the statements were extracted, and statement pool was completedthrough reviewing the text. In the second phase, the psychometric properties including face, content,and construct validities (using explorative factor analysis), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha),and test–retest reliability (intercluster correlation test) were measured. A total of 482 students whowere selected randomly participated in the second phase. Data analysis was done with MAXQDAsoftware (VERBI Software 2019, Berlin, Germany) for qualitative data and SPSS 19 software(SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) for quantitative data.RESULTS: Based on qualitative content analysis and literature review, 92 statements were extracted.After checking face and content validity, 55 statements remained in the study. Construct validity of thequestionnaire based on explorative factor analysis removed 10 more statements and the remaining 45statements were categorized into nine factors, namely technophilia, perceived attraction, perceivedease, perceived conflict, self‑management, attitude, behavioral intention to use, educational use,and efficacy of m‑learning. Reliability of the scale was obtained as 0.95 based on Cronbach’s alphaand stability was checked using test–retest method (intercluster correlation coefficient; r = 0.92).CONCLUSION: Willingness to m‑learning scale had an acceptable reliability and validity in medicalsciences students. Therefore, it can be used for medical sciences students for improve learningand education.
