Validación de una escala de medida del mapa mental como estrategia de aprendizaje en la formación inicial docente

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to validate a scale about mind map learning as a study technique. The questionnaire was administered to a sample of 206 and 409 students from Master of Inclusive Education and Childhood and Primary Education Degrees, respectively, at the University of Cordoba (Spain). The data were subjected to factorial analysis through exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyses. The results reveal an instrument with correct validity and reliability that demonstrates that the model is stable and consistent with the starting theoretical assumptions.
