Evidence for Validity and Reliability of the Scale of Goals of Study in Peruvian Undergraduate Students.

The objective of this instrumental study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Study Goals Scale (EME). The sample taken was of 287 university students from Lima, (66% men), ages 18 to 26 years old (M = 19.66, SD = 1.64). A confirmatory factor analysis was performed where a structure of...

Sumario:The objective of this instrumental study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Study Goals Scale (EME). The sample taken was of 287 university students from Lima, (66% men), ages 18 to 26 years old (M = 19.66, SD = 1.64). A confirmatory factor analysis was performed where a structure of three factors related to goodness of fit indices is valid (CFI = .92, SRMR = .06, RMSEA = .07). In addition, positive correlations were found between the EME and the Specific Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale of Academic Situations (EAPESA), as well as with the Academic Self-regulation dimension of the Academic Procrastination Scale (EPA). The internal consistency reliability of the EME was: learning (ω = .90); achievement (ω = .88) and social reinforcement goals (ω = .88). In conclusion, the EME has appropriate evidence of validity and reliability in this sample.
