| Descripción: |
Purpose: Present the adaptation of Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS) as a diagnostic tool in teaching methods in university classrooms and check the reliability and validity of the scales of the JDS model adapted to teaching, as well as its factor structure.Design/methodology/approach: We analyzed the data from a sample with 149 students from the faculty of business administration, a Spanish University, in 2008-2009, by conducting a confirmatory factor analysis using the multivariate technique of structural equations.Findings and Originality/value: The model has proven to be successful and may be an effective tool to evaluate the process of change towards new methodologies that are currently undergoing active universities.Research limitations/implications: In future research should be tested the predictive validity of this instrument compared to other variables of interest, such as student satisfaction. It would also be necessary to extend the analysis to different populations and at different university levels.Practical implications: Provides researchers a tool to measure the motivational profile of the position measurement model which is valid and reliable.Social implications: In the current process of change that is taking place in universities according to the plan developed by the European Space of Higher Education, validated tools such as JDS teaching adapted for facilitating this process through the diagnosis, implementation and required to track changes in university classrooms in both the methodologies used in class, as in the relation teacher - student.Originality/value: The JDS allows teachers to make an assessment of the perceptions of students in front of his teaching methodology and to their role as manager of the classroom.

Objeto: presentar la adaptación realizada del Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS) como herramienta de diagnóstico de metodologías docentes en las aulas universitarias y comprobar la fiabilidad y validez de las escalas del modelo JDS adaptado a la docencia, así como su estructura factorial. Diseño/metodología: se han analizado los datos de una muestra con 149 estudiantes pertenecientes a la Facultad de Administración de Empresas, de una universidad española, durante el curso 2008-2009, mediante la realización de un análisis factorial confirmatorio utilizando la técnica multivariante de ecuaciones estructurales. Aportaciones y resultados: el modelo ha resultado ser satisfactorio pudiendo ser una herramienta eficaz para evaluar el proceso de cambio hacia las nuevas metodologías activas que actualmente están enfrentando las universidades. Limitaciones: en futuras líneas de investigación debería comprobarse la validez predictiva de este instrumento respecto a otras variables de interés, como la satisfacción de los estudiantes. También sería necesario extender los análisis a poblaciones distintas, así como en los diferentes niveles universitarios. Implicaciones prácticas: proporciona a los investigadores un instrumento para medir el perfil motivador del puesto cuyo modelo de medida es válido y fiable. Implicaciones sociales: en el proceso actual de cambio que se está llevando a cabo en las universidades de acuerdo al plan desarrollado por el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, herramientas validadas como el JDS adaptado a la docencia permiten facilitar dicho proceso por medio del diagnóstico, la implementación y el seguimiento de los cambios requeridos en las aulas universitarias tanto en las metodologías utilizadas en clase, como en la relación docente – alumno. Valor añadido: El JDS permite a los profesores realizar una valoración de la percepción de los alumnos frente a su metodología docente y hacia su rol como gestor del aula. |
