A pool of 56 items’ for the first draft of the evaluation scale was compiled from the available student-rated instruments based on an extensive literature review and expert opinion. Initial draft of the Student Rated Summative Teaching Evaluation Scale (STES-SR) with 50 items was formulated after removing 6 items with a Itemized Content Validity Ratio, ICVR of 0.75) and high reliability with significant (p<0.001) positive Pearson r value. Adaptation of the STES-SR would be helpful in determining the teaching effectiveness in a nursing education program.
