Composición factorial de la escala de autoeficacia académica en universitarios Mexicanos

Abstract

The present study investigates the psychometric results proposed by Rangel for the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. The total sample included 716 male students, with a mean age of 20.8 years, of the degree of Physical Education and Human Motricity offered at the Autonomous University of Chihuahua in Mexico. Psychometric analysis showed that a tetra-factorial structure was viable and adequate. The factorial structure of the questionnaire was analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis. The four-factor structure included comprehension, communication, attention and excellence. This showed adequate indicators of adjustment of reliability and validity. In addition, factor analysis conducted with subsamples showed the presence of strong evidence of factor structure stability.
