Abstract
VILLARREAL-FERNANDEZ, Jorge Eliécer. Honey-Alonso learning styles questionnaire (CHAEA). Psychometric properties in Colombian university students. Psicogente [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.50, pp.46-69. Epub Sep 01, 2023. ISSN 0124-0137. https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.26.50.6231.
Introduction:
The objective of this research result article is to present the results of the psychometric analysis process of the Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire (CHAEA) in university students in Colombia.
Method:
The methodology is inserted in instrumental studies; it seeks to identify the psychometric properties of an instrument. The sample consisted of 2.230 students in the Exploratory Factor Analysis and 661 for the Confirmatory Analysis, both non-random samples. Structural Equation Models (SEM) were used for the confirmatory stage.
Result:
The result was an instrument of 25 items, 4 factors, composed of reagents organized differently from the original construct, closer to the Kolb model, acceptable psychometric properties according to the theoretical approaches used, aimed at assessing confirmed and labeled learning styles -Investigator, Practitioner, Experimenter and Active- in the educational field.
Conclusion:
The validation process carried out allows the use of the instrument to be considered valid and reliable for University Students in the Colombian educational context. In any case, the application conditions must be taken into account, and it is always important to carry out new studies at different educational levels that can account for more solid psychometric information.
