Experts' validation of an instrument for self-perception of research skills to develop academic literacy

Abstract

The present study aims to present the validation of a scale to measure the perception that university students have about the mastery of research competencies to develop academic literacy. The research approach is positivist, therefore the method employed is quantitative. The scale that has been validated is a Likert type from 1 to 4 and is made up of 30 reagents, 7 from two categories, and 6 from the other two categories. The categories used are: Learning by being, Learning by knowing, Learning by doing, and Learning by solving. It is intended that the scale can be transferred to other university contexts in addition to the environment in which it was applied for validation.
