Construcción y validación de la escala de apreciación de la calidad del programa de asignatura. Propuesta para el estudio de la calidad de la docencia

Abstract

The objective of the study presented in this paper was to construct and to establish the psychometric properties of a scale for assessing the quality of a course program, by the students in a university course. A total of 423 students of a regional university voluntarily participated in the study. Regarding the construct validity, the analysis of the main components yielded a solution of 3 factors that explain 55.3% of the variance and show theoretical coherence. Regarding the criterion validity, the correlation between the proposed instrument and one that measures a related construct was r = 0.65 and statistically meaningful. The alpha of the total scale was 0.927. This instrument will helm in measuring the quality of teaching and can be answered by the teacher, by a panel of experts and by students.
