VALIDACIÓN DE CUESTIONARIO SOBRE AUTORREGULACIÓN DEL APRENDIZAJE EN LA FORMACIÓN INICIAL DOCENTE.

This research, of instrumental design and quantitative approach, constitutes a first validation of the Self-Regulation of Learning Questionnaire in Initial Teacher Education, developed from a proprietary model designed under the socio-cognitive approach. For this purpose, a sample of 360 students with five bachelor’s degrees at a Mexican Higher Education Institution was used. Content validity was obtained using expert judgment, while Cronbach’s alpha reliability index gave a result of .942. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett’s sphericity tests confirmed the feasibility of performing the Principal Component Factor Analysis with Varimax rotation, resulting in three factors with a distribution of items that do not correspond to the original model, therefore a second analysis was mad. It is concluded that the instrument has content validity, of construct, is congruent with its design, and is highly reliable. However, it is recommended to corroborate this through other tests, section the instrument in the phases or areas that comprise it, or apply it to other populations from public and private institutions.
