Validation of the spanish version Student Course Experience Questionnaire and the Approaches to Studying Inventory in deprived contexts

Resumen

In order to achieve quality education in higher education, it is necessary to have tools that take into account the particularities of the socio-economic and cultural context. The present research aims to validate the Student Course Experience Questionnaire (SCEQ) and the Approaches to Studying Inventory (ASI) in Spanish in the Ecuadorian context, with a view to developing a tool that emerges from the perspectives of university students. The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis yield data that do not align with the desired measures, thus necessitating the implementation of an Exploratory Factor Analysis, which consequently produces a questionnaire comprising three categories: Good Teaching Style, University Workload and Generic Skills Scale. The Exploratory Factor Analysis validates the ASI.
