Anatomy Education Environment Measurement Inventory (AEEMI): a cross-validation study in Malaysian medical schools.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Anatomy Education Environment Measurement Inventory (AEEMI) evaluates the perception of medical students of educational climates with regard to teaching and learning anatomy. The study aimed to cross-validate the AEEMI, which was previously studied in a public medical school, and proposed a valid universal model of AEEMI across public and private medical schools in Malaysia.

Methods

The initial 11-factor and 132-item AEEMI was distributed to 1930 pre-clinical and clinical year medical students from 11 medical schools in Malaysia. The study examined the construct validity of the AEEMI using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.

Results

The best-fit model of AEEMI was achieved using 5 factors and 26 items (χ ² = 3300.71 (df = 1680), P <
