The Development of the Engagement Scale for Simulation-Based Education: Item Generation and Early Psychometric Findings

Future studies are needed to strengthen the validation evidence for the ESSBE before the tool is ready for general use. For example, we have not yet tested convergent/divergent validity with existing metrics or whether ESSBE responses are associated with learner outcomes. We provide initial evidence supporting the 11-item, 4-dimension ESSBE as a potentially reliable and valid measurement of engagement in SBE.
