Abstract

Objective: to construct and validate the questionnaire of perception of the importance, usefulness and structure of the syllabus in micro-curricular planning. Methodology: instrumental, prospective, quantitative approach. Participants: The Delphi method was used, with the judgment of 6 experts. For the validation of the construct, 91 people participated, including teachers and students of the Catholic University of Cuenca. Instrument: Two instruments were designed for teachers and students, EVSIUC-2021; with two sections: identification data, and evaluation of the syllabus elaborated under two dimensions: 1) Structure and 2) Usefulness/Importance, with a Likert-type scale. Statistical analysis: Shapiro Wilk normality test; the omega coefficient described by McDonald, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate the construct and the R program. Results: teachers' questionnaire; experts demonstrated content validity higher than 0.58, 4 items were eliminated and a global validity of 0.79 was obtained. Student questionnaire had a validity ratio of 0.58, 1 item was eliminated and an overall validity of 0.81 was obtained. Pilot test did not adjust to parametric criteria p=.000. McDonald test yielded 0.815 in the teachers' survey and 0.981 in the students' questionnaire. Overall satisfaction: teachers 88%, students 80%; usefulness, importance, structure: teachers 45.5%, students 80%.
