Resumen

El presente estudio busca obtener información sobre la validez transcultural del cuestionario de Clima Motivacional de Clase (CMCQ) desarrollado recientemente para alumnos de Secundaria y Bachillerato, con el propósito de facilitar la valoración de las actividades educativas y promover su cambio. Para ello se ha realizado un estudio paralelo al estudio original, pero con estudiantes mexicanos de Secundaria y Bachillerato, en el que se han llevado a cabo análisis factoriales confirmatorios, de correlaciones y de regresión. Los resultados, similares a los obtenidos en España, han mostrado que el CMCQ es un instrumento fiable, que cubre los principales patrones de actuación que estimulan la motivación por aprender, que correlaciona en forma esperada con medidas similares, que predice excelentemente la satisfacción con el profesor y que permite detectar qué profesores necesitan cambiar. Así mismo ha mostrado algunas diferencias existentes en función del género en los alumnos de Secundaria, diferencias cuyas implicaciones teóricas y prácticas se comentan.

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to obtain information about the cross-cultural validity of the Classroom Motivational Climate Questionnaire (CMCQ), developed recently for Secondary and High School students to evaluate educational activities and promote a change in teachers' activity. For this purpose, the original study developed in Spain was replicated using a Mexican sample. To validate the questionnaire, confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation and regression analyses were undertaken. The results paralleled those obtained in Spain. They showed that the CMCQ is a highly reliable instrument that covers many of the types of teaching patterns that stimulate learning motivation. It correlates in expected ways with other measures of Classroom Goal Structure. It is a good predictor of satisfaction with teacher's work, and it allows detecting which teachers need to change. Some differences associated to secondary school students' gender were also found. The theoretical and practical implications of these differences are discussed.
