Descripción
Sumario:This report describes the progress in the design of a measurement instrument to assess the beliefs and attitudes of university students towards their training for the achievement of educational research competence. The authors use learning constructivist theories which consider an essential element to have a positive attitude towards learning while false beliefs do not position the learner in an optimum condition to reach the next step of development in a didactic situation. It is a quantitative study. It was applied to an intentional sample of undergraduate students in Educational Sciences, from the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo. The results show a reliability of .77.  Thus, an analysis of the wording and appropriateness is made, as well as its correlation. Finally, a second version is proposed seeking to spread the application of the questionnaire for its validation.
