This
work aims to analyze the validity of the content of the structured
questionnaire for identifying learning experiences associated with the use of
digital information and communication technologies (DICT) by undergraduates. It
also integrates the pilot study carried out within the framework of a larger
study on the construction of learner identity through participation in the
learning activities mediated by the TDIC. The content validity allows us to
analyze the adequacy of the data collection instruments, taking into account
the theoretical concepts proposed for evaluation. The methodology of the work
is carried out in two phases. In the first phase, the structured questionnaire
is elaborated according to institutional reports on the use of the DICT and the
results of research on the theoretical concepts of interest that have been
published in scientific databases. The second phase consists of carrying out an
expert judgment for evaluating the instrument. The group of judges is comprised
of 10 people: 5 professionals that have knowledge of the subject and 5
undergraduates from several courses to give us relevant information on the
clarity of the instrument. The participants are given a document describing the
questionnaire (purpose, theoretical concepts and dimensions of interest) and an
instrument to assess each of the items within it. The indices of agreement
between the judges are calculated for the questionnaire in totality and for the
dimensions studied, and individual interviews are conducted to discuss
controversial questions. We find an acceptable index of agreement (higher to
80%) and consider that the participation of the judges from the profile
specified has the potential to give us relevant information for constructing
the structured questionnaire for use in research.
