Design and validation of the NEURODIEDU questionnaire to assess the implementation of neurodidactics in pre-school and primary school classrooms

Neuroscience provides knowledge and understanding of how the brain works and the processes involved in learning. In order to identify empirical evidence that can be used to improve the teaching-learning processes in Early Childhood Education and Primary Education, the NEURODIEDU questionnaire has been designed. The questionnaire consists of ten variables and each variable, in turn, is made up of four components. To determine the content validity of the questionnaire, Kendall's coefficient was used. Cronbach's Alpha was used to know the reliability of the instrument in relation to its internal consistency. Additionally, the Spearman-Brown and Guttman two halves method has been used to see if there is consistency between the items of the instrument. Finally, an analysis of the clarity and relevance of each of the items was carried out on the basis of the components of each of the variables. Therefore, through the questionnaire it will be possible to determine if teachers really apply neuroscience-based strategies correctly and if this in turn contributes to an improvement of the teaching-learning process.
