Developing and Validating of Sustainable Curriculum Scale in Iran Higher Education System

: The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a sustainable curriculum scale in Iran's higher education system. To this aim, the face validity is measured after designing the initial scale based on theoretical framework and research background. In the next step, 400 graduate students from Shiraz University are selected by stratified random sampling. The content validity is obtained through item analysis and the construct validity is calculated by factor analysis. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient is obtained for measuring the reliability. According to the factor loads of logic (0.65), the goal (0.78), content (0.83), teaching-learning (0.85), materials and educational resources (0.86), learning activities (0.84) ), time (0.78), space (0.76), grouping (0.89) and evaluation (0.73), the scale construct validity are confirmed and based on significant correlation between subscales with scale total score and items with their subscales, content validity is confirmed as well. In addition, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the sustainable curriculum scale (0.97) and the subscales of logic (0.93), target (93.03), content (0.87), teaching-learning methods (0.79), materials and Educational resources (0.95), learning activities (0.88), time (0.92), space (0.78), grouping (0.77) and evaluation (0.93), confirm the reliability of sustainable curriculum scale and its’ subscales.
