Sumario:This article describes the process to elaborate and validate a survey that aims to identify and evaluate the media literacy level of non-university teachers.Currently, in a highly connected environment where media and communication technologies are increasingly relevant in the educational scope, it is essential to design an instrument that allows us to measure teachers media literacy level. This survey may support the enhancement of pedagogical proposals in order to improve teachers practice as well as teacher professional training. To validate the survey content, Delphi methodology was used by experts of seven Spanish universities. Converging validation has been done on the basis of a sample of 906 teachers from nine Spanish Autonomous Communities. The conclusion after survey psychometric analysis is that this instrument is adequate to measure media literacy level of non-university teachers.
