The aim of this research was to evaluate the psychometric properties (construct validity and internal consistency)
of the Revised Two-Factor Study process questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) in health science students from Cartagena,
Colombia. We performed a validation study without a standard in by 587 health science students. The number of
factors that explained the construct was determined using an exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis determined construct validity, and internal consistency was determined by Cronbach’s Alpha. R-SPQ-2F showed a mean value of 66.01 ±12.3 with a minimum of 36 and a maximum of 99. EFA showed a two-factor solution that accounted for the 42.5% of the explained variance. However, CFA showed the following fit indices X2 = 962.783; df = 166; RMSEA = 0.075 (90% CI: 0.070-0.079); CFI = 0.833; TLI = 0.866. R-SPQ-2F is a scale with acceptable internal consistency and a two-factor structure with questionable construct validity. Nevertheless, it shows a practical utility on research related to learning strategies for higher education. Additional research on psychometric properties in other similar samples is recommended for future research.
El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del cuestionario de procesos de estudio revisado – 2 factores (CPE-R-2F) en estudiantes de ciencias de la salud en Cartagena, Colombia. Estudio de validación de escalas, sin patrón de referencia en 857 estudiantes que respondieron el CPE-R-2F. Para determinar el número de factores que explicaban el constructo se condujo análisis de factores (exploratorio). El análisis de factores confirmatorio determinó la validez de constructo y el alfa de Cronbach la consistencia interna del instrumento. El CPE-R-2F mostró un puntaje medio de 66,01±12,38 con mínimo 36 y máximo 99. El AFE mostró una solución de dos factores que explicó el 42,56% de la varianza total.
