Academic engagement: a scale

Abstract

El involucramiento académico (IA) se refiere a los recursos físicos y psicológicos que se dedican a la experiencia académica. Es predictor del aprendizaje y del desarrollo personal, y tiene tres componentes: conductual, cognitivo y afectivo. Para este trabajo se desarrolló una escala para medir la dimensión conductual del IA, que se administró a 906 estudiantes en Caracas, luego de un estudio piloto. Se realizó un análisis de confiabilidad, comportamiento de los ítems, estructura factorial y validez de criterio. Fue identificado un factor definido como personalidad resistente (PR) en el plano académico, que refleja el compromiso, control y asertividad del estudiante. Se concluye que la Escala de Involucramiento Académico y el factor PR son confiables, válidos y relevantes para la predicción de rendimiento académico.

Academic Engagement (AE) refers to the physical and psychological resources devoted to academic experience. It is a predictor of learning and personal development, and has three components: behavioral, cognitive and affective. A scale was developed to measure the behavioral dimension of AE. The scale was administered to 906 students in Caracas, after a pilot study, and analyses of reliability, item performance, factorial structure and criterion validity were performed. A factor, defined as Personality Resistant (PR) at an academic level factor, was identified as a reflection of the commitment, control and assertiveness of the student. It is concluded that the scale factor AE and PR are reliable, valid and relevant for predicting academic performance.
