    • Alternate Title:
      Construction and Validation of an Attitude-Toward-Mathematics Scale for Psychology Students. (English)
    • نبذة مختصرة :
      The aim of this work was to present the construction process of an attitude-toward-mathematics scale for students of Psychology. The most widely reported dimensions of the construct in literature were taken as reference and items were generated to make these dimensions operational. Expert judgment and a pilot test were used to reduce the number of items. The items accepted were administered to a sample of 2814 students. Three relevant dimensions were identified using exploratory factor analysis (affection-motivation, confidence and usefulness), which were replicated in a confirmatory study. This result provided evidence of construct validity. Optimal indicators of internal consistency and temporal stability were obtained. The factor structure obtained is comparable to those reported in other studies measuring the same construct. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

      El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar el proceso de construcción de una escala de actitud hacia la matemática específica para estudiantes de Psicología. Se tomaron como referencia las dimensiones del constructo más mencionadas en la literatura y se generaron ítems para operacionalizarlas. Se efectuó una depuración mediante juicio experto y estudio piloto. Los ítems conservados se administraron una muestra de 2 814 estudiantes. Mediante un análisis factorial exploratorio, se identificaron tres dimensiones relevantes (Afectivo-motivacional, Confianza y Utilidad) que fueron replicadas en un estudio confirmatorio. Este resultado aportó evidencias de validez de constructo. Se obtuvieron indicadores óptimos de consistencia interna y estabilidad temporal. Se compara la estructura factorial alcanzada con las reportadas en otras investigaciones que miden el mismo constructo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
