Validation of the educational orientation variable in the teaching-learning process

Abstract

Educational guidance in the teaching-learning process is a little-studied construct, therefore, it is necessary to deepen the totality and relevance of the elements that characterize it so that it can become a research variable. Once the variable is defined, it is submitted to the criteria of specialists in the subject to verify its degree of coherence and reliability. The questionnaire for specialists was used as an empirical method. As statistical methods, the calculation of the median and the application of the Multidimensional Correlation Coefficient rpj are used with the use of the Processing Software to determine the degree of coherence in complex and dynamic systems and processes: Cohaerentîa. On the basis of the quantitative results, qualitative assessments were made. The analysis of the results led to the improvement of the wording of the variable, the contextualization of the dimensions to the teaching-learning process and the adjustment of the indicators, so that they could guide the design of instruments. The results of the validation revealed the relevance of the variable and the need for its study. The objective of this article is to socialize the results obtained in the validation of the educational orientation variable in the teaching-learning process.
