Propiedades psicométricas de la escala de engagement académico en estudiantes universitarios bolivianos

Abstract

El presente estudio analiza las propiedades psicométricas de la escala de engagement académico en estudiantes universitarios bolivianos. Investigación que sigue los lineamientos de un diseño instrumental donde participaron 572 estudiantes universitarios de ambos sexos cuyas edades oscilaron entre 17 y 47 años. El análisis de la estructura interna de la escala de engagement académico a través de un factorial confirmatorio, reveló que la estructura es satisfactoria (χ2 = 28,147, p = 0.01; CFI = 0.988; TLI = 0.970 y RMSEA = 0.080), asimismo se reporta evidencias de validez convergente y discriminante. La confiabilidad es adecuada (α > 0.70). Se concluye que la escala de engagement académico en estudiantes universitarios es un instrumento breve válido y confiable.

The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the academic engagement scale in Bolivian university students. This research follows the guidelines of an instrumental design in which 572 university students of both sexes whose ages ranged from 17 to 47 years old participated. The analysis of the internal structure of the academic engagement scale through a confirmatory factorial analysis revealed that the structure is satisfactory (χ2 = 28.147, p = 0.01; CFI = 0.988; TLI = 0.970 and RMSEA = 0.080), and evidence of convergent and discriminant validity was also reported. Reliability is adequate (α > 0.70). It is concluded that the academic engagement scale in university students is a valid and reliable brief instrument.
