IEPS: Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale
Submitted by National Center... on Nov 1, 2013 - 4:30pm CDT
The Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) was developed to gauge professionally oriented perceptions and related affective domains for participants in interdisciplinary education programs.
This is an 18-item tool with a 5-point scale (later adapted to a 12-item tool) that can be used to assess the effect of interprofessional education experiences on undergraduate students. The tool has 4 subscales: competency and autonomy, perceived need for cooperation and perception of actual cooperation and understanding others' roles.
