Index of self-efficacy for learning how to conduct research: Psychometric properties

Abstract:

The present research work develops with the aim to estimate the properties psychometrical a scale that measures the self-efficacy for the learning of the research. Took part 1304 university students whose average age was 22 years. The study was realized in three phases: Phase 1: descriptive Valuation of the items. Phase 2: Analysis factorial exploratory, and the Phase 3 was the estimation of the Analysis Factorial Confirmatory. As a result an instrument composed of three dimensions-factors explaining 70.03% of the variance associated with the construct under study is obtained. According to Cronbach’s alpha of .866 and .864 McDonald’s Omega it is considered that the scale presents a high level of confidence.
