Equivalencia de medida transnacional del Inventario de Procesos de Autorregulación del Aprendizaje en universitarios de Ecuador, Perú y Venezuela

Self-regulation of learning comprises a multifactorial process in which students achieve specific educational goals. This work aims to determine the cross-national measurement equivalence of the Self-Regulation of Learning Processes Inventory in university students in South America. It is a descriptive, quantitative, psychometric, and cross-sectional study, with 762 students from public universities in Ecuador (n = 370), Peru (n = 202), and Venezuela (n = 190), selected through an intentional non-probabilistic sampling. The factor analysis of the inventory confirmed a hierarchical factor structure with three first-order factors and one general second-order factor. It should be noted that the inventory is invariant based on the country of origin of the participants, in addition, it converges with a measure of academic self-efficacy and adequate internal consistency between its items. Additionally, it is positioned as a valid and reliable instrument for the evaluation and measurement of academic self-regulation processes for samples of university students from the participating countries.
