Abstract
En la educación universitaria, las actividades que requieren un trabajo en equipo son comunes. Por lo que el éxito o fracaso en esta etapa está influenciado en muchos casos en la capacidad del estudiante en poder desenvolverse en trabajos de equipo de forma eficiente. Desde la perspectiva del profesorado, conocer la actitud de sus estudiantes hacia el trabajo en equipo, puede ser útil. Durante la revisión bibliográfica no se encontraron instrumentos para medir la actitud hacia el trabajo en equipo. Por tal motivo, el objetivo principal de este trabajo es presentar la escala de Actitud hacia el Trabajo en Equipo (ATE) validada en el contexto universitario. La escala fue aplicada en una muestra de 223 estudiantes universitarios de Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Los resultados muestran 22 ítems que se distribuyen en cuatro factores: 1) disposición a trabajar en equipo, 2) participación en el equipo, 3) desinterés; y 4) comunicación intragrupo. El coeficiente alfa de Cronbach de la escala es de 0.86 con lo que se demuestra la fiabilidad de la escala ATE. Asimismo, la escala se encuentra con validez de contenido apoyada por tres expertos y con validez de constructo. Finalmente se discuten los posibles usos de esta herramienta
In college level education, group activities that require teamwork are common. The success or failure in this stage is influenced in many cases for the student's capacity to efficiently function in team work activities. From the faculty perspective, knowing the attitude towards teamwork their students have, can be beneficial. In the bibliographical review, no instruments were found to measure the attitude towards teamwork specifically in university students. For this reason, the main goal of this paper is to present the Attitude Scale towards Teamwork (AST) validated in the university context. The scale was applied to 223 college students. The results show that 22 items are distributed in four factors: 1) willingness to work in a team, 2) participation in the team, 3) disinterest; and 4) intragroup communication. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.86, which demonstrates the reliability of the AST scale. Likewise, the scale has content validity supported by three experts and with construct validity. This instrument was tested on a sample of university students and has scales in the Santa Cruz population. Finally, the possible uses for this test are discussed
