ABSTRACT

Objective

to describe the construction and validation, of content and appearance, of an educational technology on cleaning and disinfecting toys for school environments and daycare centers in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.

Method

Validation methodological research, guided by the Psychometry theory. Three phases were carried out, namely: (1) bibliographic review, (2) elaboration of the educational technology, and (3) evaluation, improvement and validation of the content and appearance of the booklet. The participants were 20 evaluators and 16 professionals specialized in early childhood education. To ensure validation, we consider a Content Validity Index of at least 0.8. The data were treated using the Statistical Package for Social Science software and submitted to descriptive analysis of frequency distribution.

Results

The global improvement and validation of the content was 0.99 for the evaluators and 0.96 for the target audience. The domains of the booklet showed improvement and content validation above 0.8, suggesting that this is a representative material, in terms of appearance and content.

Conclusion and implications for the practice

In the context of educational activities in Nursing, the digital booklet can be considered as an instrument capable of favoring clear and reliable guidance on cleaning and disinfecting toys for school environments in the coronavirus pandemic scenario.
