Questionário de estratégias para a escritura de ensaios argumentativos

This article presents the results of a research project aimed to identify reliability and validity indicators for the abreviated version of the Cuestionario de Estrategias para la Escritura de Ensayos (Questionnaire on Strategies for Essay Writing) (Meneses Baez & Salvador Mata, 2006) consisting of 37 Likert-type items (1 = never and 4 = always) which measures planning, transcript review and meta cognition and was administered to 540 undergraduate student volunteers. The analysis was performed with 486 students who obtained no extreme scores. Reliability and validity indicators were estimated using Rasch model and evidence for criterion validity. Results support unidimensionality and measurement adjustment; Rash coefficients for internal consistency and reliability for people and items were>.90; separation statistics for people and items were >2; items were distributed along the Rash rule; response categories with monotonous progression and appropriate distance between categories; correlations between the CEEEA-37 and the Self-regulation and Self-efficacy Perception Scales on writing were> 0.5 (p .90; estatísticos de separação para pessoas e itens >2; itens distribuídos ao longo da regra Rasch; categorias de resposta com progressão monótona e distância entre categorias apropriada; as correlações entre CEEEA-37 e as escalas de Autorregulação e Percepção de Autoeficácia na Escritura foram >.5 (p.90; estadísticos de separación para personas e ítems >2; ítems distribuidos a lo largo de la regla Rasch; categorías de respuesta con progresión monótona y distancia entre categorías apropiada; las correlaciones entre CEEEA-37 y las escalas de Autorregulación y Percepción de Autoeficacia en la Escritura fueron >.5 (p<.05). Esta prueba puede contribuir a mejorar la evaluación e intervención en la escritura de ensayos argumentativos en universitarios, se deben elaborar ítems con mayor dificultad y realizar un nuevo estudio de campo
