DISEÑO Y VALIDACIÓN DE UNA HERRAMIENTA PARA MEDIR ACTITUD, COMPORTAMIENTO Y COMPROMISO ÉTICO ANTE LA AGENDA 2030 Y LA SOSTENIBILIDAD EN LOS ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS

Abstract

Aware of the need for training on the objectives of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs as part of the comprehensive training of university students, the need arises for tools to assess the acquisition of knowledge, attitudes and commitments of students with these subjects. Method: An instrumental design was carried out combining content validity through expert judgment with construct validity based on Exploratory Factor Analysis through the application of the questionnaire to a pilot group of 351 university students from 10 Spanish universities (7 public and 3 private universities). Results: The results showed a scale of 23 items with three factors (knowledge, affectivity, and action), which allow measuring the knowledge and commitment of young people to sustainability. Conclusion: This tool presents evidence of validity and reliability for its application in Spanish university students; and fills the existing gap in the literature with respect to tools on sustainability and ethical commitment.
