Validación de un instrumento para evaluar metodologías de enseñanza con Student Response Systems

Abstract

The effectiveness of cooperative learning techniques for teaching has been widely discussed and demonstrated over the years, as has the use of Student Response Systems such as Wooclap. The present work describes the process of construction and psychometric study of the “Questionnaire to evaluate teaching methodologies with SRS”, designed to collect information on the effects that the combination of both resources generates in the classroom climate, learning and the evaluation process of university students; Its importance lies in the lack of a reliable instrument for its measurement, especially in the case of the Wooclap tool. The instrument was designed ad hoc, and is based on a Likert scale (1-5) that goes from totally disagree (1) to totally agree (5) in the dimensions: Classroom climate, Learning and Evaluation through technological tool. To analyze its properties, two descriptive studies have been carried out by cross-sectional survey, involving 187 students in the first and 354 in the second of the Degree in Early Childhood Education. The data collected were subjected to a study of its factor structure and internal consistency through an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, as well as a correlational analysis. The results obtained show high goodness-of-fit indices and Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, which allows us to confirm the reliability and consistency of the instrument to collect information on the effects of combining cooperative learning teaching methodologies with SRS for student teaching-learning processes.
