  "abstract": "Background & Objective: The lack of a standardized instrument to assess the educational environment (EE) from the perspective of dental faculty members remains a significant gap. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and preliminary evaluate the face/content validity and reliability (internal consistency and test-retest reliability) of the Persian version of the Assessment of Medical Education Environment by Teachers (AMEET) questionnaire among Iranian dental faculty members.\n\nMaterials & Methods: The second inventory version of the AMEET questionnaire underwent a standard forward–backward translation and cross-cultural adaptation process. After evaluating face validity of pre-final version of the questionnaire, a panel comprising of 20 faculty members of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (Iran) with expertise in medical education, basic medical sciences, and clinical disciplines evaluated the questionnaire’s Content Validity Ratio (CVR) and Content Validity Index (CVI). Then the questionnaire was administered to a separate group of 20 faculty members of the target population on two occasions, with a two-week interval for evaluating the preliminary reliability of the questionnaire using Cronbach’s alpha, and test–retest reliability exam.\n\nResults: Following the validation process, 16 items were removed, resulting in a refined 39-item Persian version of the AMEET questionnaire. All retained items demonstrated acceptable content validity index (CVI > 0.79) and Impact Score ≥ 1.5. The instrument demonstrated good internal consistency, with an overall Cronbach’s alpha of 0.90, and excellent test-retest reliability, with ICC values exceeding 0.80 for the overall score and all domains.\n\nConclusion: The Persian version of the AMEET questionnaire showed acceptable content validity and good reliability, providing preliminary evidence to support its use in assessing the educational environment from the perspective of dental faculty members in Iran. Further validation, including assessment of its structural/construct validity in a larger sample, is required before it can be considered a fully validated instrument.",
