Propiedades psicométricas del Cuestionario de Evaluación delConocimiento sobre Estrategias de Autorregulación en universitarios(CEA-U)

There are enough assessment instruments available on the use of self-regulated learning strategies by the students of the different educational stages. However, there are no reliable and valid instruments that provide information on the student´s level of knowledge about what self-regulated behavior implies when it comes to learning. However, it has repeatedly been proven that the level of prior knowledge is an important determinant of subsequent behavior. Therefore, the aim of this study was the analysis of the psychometric properties of the Self-Regulatory Knowledge Questionnaire (CEA) in university students (CEA-U). Based on a design of repeated measures (two measures with a time interval of six months) the instrument has been applied to a wide sample of students of psychology and education degrees. The validity and reliability of the scale was studied in two ways: structural and predictive validity; as well as reliability for internal consistency and test-retest. The results obtained show the CEA-U as a valid and reliable instrument for use with university students.
