Background: Personal learning environments are the networks of tools,
activities, and connections that each person uses for their learning.
Although there have been increasing numbers of studies, measurement
instruments in this regard are still limited. The aim of this study is to
construct and validate a scale to assess the activities that make up Personal
Learning Environments. Method: The sample comprised 1,187 students
in their fi nal year of undergraduate degrees. 64% were women and 36%
men, with a mean age of 24 and a standard deviation of 4.21 years.
Results: The scale consists of 27 Likert-type items responding to three
factors according to the theoretical construct reviewed, and produced
high coeffi cients in internal consistency tests. Conclusions: The analyses
demonstrate a valid instrument with solid psychometric properties. More
specifi cally, the results indicate suitable content validity. Exploratory and
confi rmatory factor analyses indicate appropriate construct validation,
with consistency between the theoretical and factorial model.
