Resumen

Objetivo. Se ha demostrado que las creencias de los estudiantes sobre sí mismos y sobre lo que significa ser aprendices eficaces de matemáticas influyen en múltiples factores, tales como su éxito, compromiso y motivación. El propósito de este artículo es presentar evidencias de validez para las escalas de creencias matemáticas en educación secundaria (MMBS, por sus siglas en inglés). Método. Se utilizó el Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) para examinar la fiabilidad y la validez de constructo de las MMBS, empleando datos de una muestra de 248 estudiantes de secundaria de una escuela suburbana en la costa este de los Estados Unidos. Resultados. Los hallazgos sugieren que las MMBS poseen una sólida estructura de seis factores que demuestra una fiabilidad y una validez de constructo robustas.
