Abstract

ABSTRACT Inclusive chemistry learning is possible. Three frameworks that can be considered to create inclusive chemistry learning are Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK), Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The integration of these three frameworks is still not widely used by teachers and is not popular in Indonesia. Therefore, developing and validating the TPACK‐UDL‐STEM Scale to measure teacher knowledge and abilities in designing inclusive chemistry learning is crucial. The three scale development steps proposed by Morgado et al. were used as a scale development procedure. Fifty items as the first draft of the scale were designed after reviewing the TPACK‐UDL‐STEM literature. These items were divided into five aspects (S‐PCK‐Multiple Means of Representation, T‐TCK‐Multiple means of representation, E‐PCK‐Multiple means of engagement, M‐TPK‐Multiple means of representation, STEM‐TPACK‐Multiple means of action and expression). A panel of six experts tested the first draft that focused on item content and construction. A second draft was piloted on 50 chemistry teachers randomly selected and volunteered to fill out the scale. Data were analyzed using the partial least square method to assess the scale's validity and reliability. After several stages of testing, 48 items were declared valid with a Cronbach's Alpha value > 0.8, rho_A value > 0.8, and composite reliability > 0.9. These values indicate that the TPACK‐UDL‐STEM Scale is valid and reliable for measuring teachers' knowledge in designing inclusive chemistry lessons. Therefore, this scale is suitable for applied research and further studies to support the development of inclusive chemistry learning.
