The scale shows adequate psychometric properties, the CFA presents goodness of fit indices (NFI=0.95; CFI=0.95 IFI= 0.90; MFI=0.80). This version of the instrument is useful for research in the field of educationalpsychology andespeciallyininstitutional improvementprocessesforthedevelopmentofinclusive higher education.
