Validación psicométrica de un instrumento para evaluar la competencia digital

The aim of this research is to analyze the psychometric properties of the self-perception questionnaire of the digital competence of the university professors (in Spanish, CACDD). Digital competence of university professors consists in using digital technologies in a pedagogic-didactic context being awareness of its implications for learning. The sample consisted of 302 Peruvian teachers from a private university with ages between 24 and 71 years (M = 42.5). The exploratory factor analysis allowed the identification of three underlying factors with 63.261% of the variance. In relation to reliability, it presented the Alpha Ordinal value of.979. We conclude that the adaptation of the questionnaire has adequate psychometric properties, allowing it to be a favourable alternative for the evaluation of digital competence in university professors.
