Online Self-regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ): study of validity and reliability of the Spanish versión

Abstract

In this article the validation results of the Online Self-regulated Learning Questionnaire (OSLQ) are presented. The adaptation was based on a method of retranslation from the original version of the document and the subsequent fulfilment of a pilot test, with a multidisciplinary sample of 238 university students. The results show a high internal consistency of the scale, which presented a 0.90 Cronbach alpha value, and therefore, the scale is highly reliable and confirms the constructs proposed by the authors. Through the use of confirmatory factorial analysis, the internal structure of the questionnaire was verified. In conclusion, this document will permit future investigations to be carried out in order to measure self-regulated learning in higher education students that use educational platforms, and it will support the development processes of cognitive, motivational/emotional and behavioural abilities of the student.
