Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Cooperative Learning Scale (CAT) for Portuguese and Brazilian higher education students. The study included 493 higher education students aged 17-45 years from a university in northern Portugal and 414 Brazilian university students aged 14-52 years from different universities in Brazil. To this adaptation, the original instrument, designed and validated for Spanish contexts and for students from the 3rd cycle of basic education and secondary education, went through several phases: a) evaluation by experts; b) pilot study; c) confirmatory factorial analysis; and d) determination of convergent and divergent validity. Both the Portuguese and the Brazilian versions of the CAT present a good adjustment model and include five factors with three items each: positive interdependence, interpersonal skills, promotive interaction, individual accountability, and group processing.
