Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Los esfuerzos por llevar a cabo investigación y evaluación acerca de las actitudes de estudiantes hacia las ciencias y las matemáticas dependen de la disponibilidad de instrumentos culturalmente adecuados que permitan su valoración en el lenguaje de la población estudiada. Presentamos aquí la traducción y adaptación del Mathematics and Science Attitude Inventory, para su uso con estudiantes puertorriqueños hispanoparlantes de escuela secundaria, en el contexto de la evaluación de un proyecto de desarrollo profesional de maestros. Utilizamos un modelo de traducción y adaptación intercultural que ubica estos procesos en el contexto de establecer validez y confiabilidad de una medida mediante el avalúo de la equivalencia de la versión original y la traducida en varias dimensiones: semántica, de contenido, técnica, de criterio y conceptual. Los resultados obtenidos proveen evidencia de la equivalencia entre las versiones en inglés y español del inventario, además de evidenciar la confiabilidad y validez de ambas versiones en la población enfocada. Se demuestra, además, la viabilidad y utilidad del modelo utilizado. Dicho modelo es una guía valiosa para la traducción y adaptación de instrumentos de recopilación de datos para su uso en diversos lenguajes y culturas.
