Abstract

NAVARRO, Ricardo et al. Validity of the Engagement to Academic Tasks Questionnaire in Peruvian college students. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.17, n.2, e3207.  Epub Dec 01, 2023. ISSN 1688-4094.  https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v17i2.3207.

Students’ interest and involvement of students in their e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has been a little-studied reality. The manifestation of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral involvement has been particularly different in recent years, so having instruments that allow it to be done is necessary for educational research. Therefore, it was sought to adapt and validate an engagement instrument that allows measuring the involvement of students during the pandemic. For this, an engagement questionnaire was applied to 297 university students. The results indicate that the original factorial structure of the model is maintained when adapting to education in a virtual context. Likewise, it was possible to identify that there were no differences in the model according to the gender of the participant, which corroborates a factorial invariance of the model. That is, it has been possible to adapt and validate a psychometric instrument that measures the engagement of students online.
