Design and validation of the academic satisfaction scale towards the role of the learning assistant in students of the Catholic University of Temuco

Abstract

A teaching and learning strategy that actively involves the student within their own learning process is peer learning. However, there is no instrument that measures the level of satisfaction towards the role of the assistant in university students. That is why the objective of this research sought to design and validate the internal structure of the student satisfaction scale towards the role of the learning assistant in students at Universidad Católica de Temuco. Through the participation of a total of 1.106 students, an exploratory factor analysis and another confirmatory type were carried out, through structural equations, which resulted in a correct adjustment of the scale and a structure composed of the factors: mediation of learning and integration of TIC. Finally, it is considered that the psychometric validation of the scale allows to make possible the quantification of teaching-learning processes that consider the student as the center of learning.
