Abstract

Introduction.  Inspiration is a concept that is used in different disciplines; however, there is no instrument that measures its impact in the academic sphere. In this sense, the present study aims to develop and validate a measurement instrument for academic inspiration (AIS).Method.  A total of 7,871 university students from different careers from a private university in Lima, Peru participated. Statistical techniques were used for latent variables and the recommendations of the standards for educational and psychological tests proposed by APA, AERA and NCME (2014) were followed for their construction.Results.  The AIS is representative and relevant in the content of its items (Aiken's V> .70). In relation to its internal structure, it is organized into three factors, which are consistent with the theoretical proposal, and it was verified by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with excellent adjustment benefits (CFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.08, WRMR = 2.44). Furthermore, this structure is invariant according to gender and is conceptually related to variables such as satisfaction (r ≥ .80) and academic commitment (r ≥ 60).Discussion and Conclusion.  The AIS is a measurement instrument that has evidence of validity, factorial invariance, and good reliability of its scores. Therefore, it can be used in future studies in the academic context.

学术启示:高等教育工具的发展与验证
介绍。灵感是一个用于不同学科的概念;然而,没有任何工具可以衡量其在学术领域的影响。在这个意义上,本研究旨在开发和验证一种学术激励(AIS)的测量工具。共有7871名来自秘鲁利马一所私立大学的不同职业的大学生参加了这项研究。潜在变量采用统计技术,并参照APA、AERA和NCME(2014)提出的教育和心理测试标准的建议进行构建。AIS在其项目内容上具有代表性和相关性(Aiken的V> .70)。就其内部结构而言,将其组织为三个因素,与理论建议一致,并通过验证性因子分析(Confirmatory Factor Analysis, CFA)进行验证,具有极好的调整效益(CFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.08, WRMR = 2.44)。此外,这种结构根据性别是不变的,并且在概念上与满意度(r≥0.80)和学业承诺(r≥60)等变量相关。讨论与结论。AIS是一种测量工具,具有有效性,因子不变性和分数的良好可靠性的证据。因此,它可以在未来的学术研究中使用。
