Abstract

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges and lead to disruptions in teaching-learning approach. In clinical teaching-learning, the disruptions will affect on the competency attainment that was aimed to be observed with this study. An instrument CAT-LC (Competency Attainment Teaching-Learning Changes) Scale was developed to measure the perceived clinical competency attainment and changes in teaching-learning approach in postgraduate orthodontic training during COVID-19 pandemic. Purpose: The goal of this validation study was to examine the relevancy of the CAT-LC Scale that was developed to assess the level of perceived clinical competency attainment and changes in teaching-learning in orthodontic postgraduate training during COVID-19 among residents of Orthodontic postgraduate programme. Methodology: The CAT-LC Scale was designed with sixty-five (65) items to quantitatively measure the effects of COVID-19 pandemic to the changes of teaching-learning and how it affects the perceived clinical competency attainment level among the residents. It consists of seven (7) domains of (A: Demographic), (B: Practice), (C: Training), (D: Alternative clinical teaching method), (E-I: Self-perceived competency), (E-II: Self perceived competency in clinical skills), (F: Others perceived competency) and each item will be rated using a 4-scale relevancy score. Results: For the validation study, CV (content validation) study was done with assessment by six (6) orthodontic experts. The items scored at least I-CVI = 0.83 which equivalent to the least value of CVI value which is 0.80. Following content validation stage, face validation was done among the non-orthodontic postgraduate students to assess the acceptance and understanding of future respondents. The I-FVI achieved were at least 0.80 for all the items that surpass the least value of FVI which is 0.80. Conclusion: With the two-validity index that was obtained from both studies, it can be concluded that CAT-LC Scale is relevant to be used as an instrument to assess the perceived clinical competency attainment level among the residents of the orthodontic programme that was affected by COVID-19 pandemic.
