QUEIROGA, Fabiana; BORGES-ANDRADE, Jairo Eduardo  and  MIRANDA, Rodrigo Araújo de. Formative evaluation in Psychology: instrument for instructional material analysis. Psicol. cienc. prof. [online]. 2009, vol.29, n.4, pp.796-811. ISSN 1414-9893.

Text books for undergraduation are seldom the focus of formative evaluation. The goal of this study was to develop and validate for the Brazilian context an instrument for data collection in formative evaluation. Brazil has scarce attempts of this nature. Participants of the study were psychology and management undergraduate students in a federal public university. Data collected with these participants were submitted to an exploratory factor analysis and the results have pointed out evidences of construct validity. The instrument may be useful for the evaluation of instructional materials. This study may contribute for the strengthening of the process of formative evaluation of teaching materials.
