Service-learning, physical education, higher education, questionnaire, assessment.Abstract
The interest that Service-Learning is having in the framework of Higher
Education encourages verification of its effects on university education. For
this purpose, we need rigorous and reliable tools that help us measure the
impact of these training proposals from a comprehensive approach. This
article describes the process for the design and validation of an instrument
that allows us to assess the evaluation of the perception of university
students regarding Service-Learning in Physical Activity and Sport and how
they contribute to their learning. For the construction of the instrument, a
bibliographic review was carried out related to the proposed objective. For
validation, 200 students from five Spanish universities who had participated
during the 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 courses in some experience of Service-
Learning in Physical Activity with groups at a disadvantage were included.
Content validation was developed by six experts. A confirmatory factor
analysis was carried out to assess the theoretical dimension structure
proposed for the scale and the internal consistency of the global scale and
each of its dimensions was checked. The results confirm the adequacy of
the chosen structural model (RMSEA = .08) and the reliability of the scale
(α = .95) and of each of its dimensions (α between .68 and .86). It is concluded
that the scale is valid for measuring students’ perception of participation in
University Service-Learning experiences and their contribution to learning
and personal and social development. In addition, it will allow us to objectify
and validate the specific effects that this pedagogical approach has in its
educational, professional, personal and community aspect.
