The Development of Collaborative Course Design Questionnaire: A Measure of Students’ Attitudes towards Collaborative Course Design and Barriers to its Implementation

This research aims to develop a questionnaire that measures students’ attitudes toward collaborative course design and identifies any barriers that might hinder student participation in course design. The questionnaire was developed in four phases. First, an item pool was created based on experts’ opinions, relevant literature, and the researchers’ experience. Second, the items were classified into two main sections: “attitudes” and “barriers”, with the latter further divided into five subcategories (social and cultural, educational and institutional, individual, practical, and attitudinal). The content validity of the questionnaire was assessed, with all items and subcategories achieving CVR>۰.۵۹ and CVI>۰.۷۹, thus surpassing the minimum required threshold. Third, the questionnaire was piloted with ۳۳۰ students. The construct validity of the Collaborative Course Design Questionnaire (CCDQ) was confirmed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as the extraction method, along with Varimax rotation, which identified six factors explaining ۷۱.۵۳۶% of the variance in the data. Finally, Cronbach’s alpha was calculated, yielding reliability indices ranging from ۰.۹۷۱ to ۰.۶۲۷, indicating internal consistency and reliability of the items within each construct. The findings suggest that the Collaborative Course Design Questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument suitable for use with senior high school students.
