Resumen

Assessing the quality of virtual university education has been an urgent need in the Peruvian context. Being the reason why the objective of the present study was to estimate the validity and consistency of a scale of evaluation of the quality of virtual education of the professional career of psychology of a public university in Lima-Peru. Using an evaluative quantitative methodology, a 5-item scale was designed and applied to 232 students (100% women) from the first to the sixth cycle of studies aged between 16 and 49 years (Mage = 24.70, SD = 6.88). Finally, using the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test, it showed a value of .79 and the Bartlett Sphericity Test was significant (χ² = 310.769, df = 10, p <.001). In addition, Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient was .76. These results show that the scale is valid and reliable.
