Resumen
El interés académico constituye una variable que incide en el proceso de aprendizaje del alumnado. Sin embargo, no se han encontrado instrumentos que midan el interés del alumnado universitario en el contexto español. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio ha consistido en adaptar y validar al español la Escala de Interés en Estudiantes (Mazer, 2012). En la investigación han participado 447 estudiantes de los Grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria de la Universidad de Cádiz. Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio apoyan tanto la estructura bifactorial propuesta en el modelo original como la solución unifactorial. Asimismo, la escala presenta una fiabilidad adecuada al obtener valores satisfactorios de alfa de Cronbach y omega de McDonald y evidencias de validez convergente con la motivación y satisfacción académica. Se concluye que la Escala de Interés en Estudiantes presenta adecuadas propiedades psicométricas para evaluar el interés académico del alumnado universitario en el aula.
