“…Esta competencia consiste en la habilidad de saber cuándo se requiere información, cómo articular dicha necesidad informativa en términos propios y estandarizados por el contexto científico, para que mediante un vocabulario técnico se realice la búsqueda de información en la variedad de fuentes disponibles. Una vez encontrada, hay que realizar procesos de recuperación, interpretación, comprensión organización y evaluación de información (Meerah, et al, 2012).…”

El objetivo de este estudio es desarrollar una escala válida y confiable para medir la competencia digital, aplicada al proceso investigativo, en los estudiantes de posgrado orientados a la investigación. Se utiliza un método mixto de dos fases: en la primera (cualitativa) participaron 51 investigadores reconocidos por su trayectoria a nivel nacional; se les aplicó una entrevista para determinar las dimensiones que componen a la competencia investigativa. En la segunda fase (cuantitativa), se desarrollaron las escalas de cada una de las dimensiones identificadas en la fase 1, pero para los fines de esta investigación, solo se presenta la escala para medir la competencia digital. Participaron 323 estudiantes de diferentes programas educativos. Los resultados indican que las categorías de la competencia digital son la competencia informacional y el uso de herramientas tecnológicas. Se concluye que la escala diseñada cumple con los criterios de validez de constructo y confiabilidad pertinentes.

The main goal of modern second language (L2) pedagogy is to engender appropriate communication skills among its learners. Hence, willingness to communicate (WTC) in L2 emerged as an important variable in recent years. Several factors have been found to influence students’ L2 WTC directly or indirectly. For this purpose, many scales and questionnaires have been developed so far to examine the factors influencing WTC among L2 students. However, a comprehensive questionnaire on WTC inside ESL classroom is still lacking. Likewise, WTC in relation to language use and motivational orientations in a single study has yet to be investigated. Thus, this study was aimed to develop and validate questionnaires on WTC, language use and motivational orientations. For this purpose, a five-phase model was used. After an extensive literature review, questionnaires on WTC, language use and motivational orientations were framed. Operational definitions of the three constructs were established and the items of the questionnaires were finalised. Two experts in the field of applied linguistics determined the content validity of the questionnaires. At the end, the questionnaires were piloted on 50 undergraduates and 10 ESL teachers. The results revealed that all the instruments were valid and highly reliable.
