Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a self-evaluation scale to assess nursing faculty’ thoughts in instructional design.

Method: A questionnaire survey was conducted with 583 nursing faculty of 52 nursing education institutions. Based on previous studies, 47 items were prepared for the draft of the scale, and the validity of the contents was examined. Results of item analysis and exploratory factor analysis confirmed the reliability and validity of the scale.

Results: The questionnaire was collected from 286/583 responses (response rate: 49.1%) and there were 262 effective responses (effective response rate: 44.9%). As a result of exploratory factor analysis, 31 items and 5 factor structures were identified. These were “teaching strategy,” “students’ readiness,” “view of education,” “teachers’ expectations from students,” and “nursing faculty’s experience.” The Cronbach’s α of each five factor ranged from .806 to .905 and Goodness of fit of five factor model were GFI = .812, AGFI = .780, CFI = .892, and RMSEA = .064.

Conclusion: Reliability and validity of Self-evaluation Scale to Assess Nursing Faculty’s Thoughts found to be almost secured.
