HOFFMAN, Agustín Freiberg  and  LIPORACE, Mercedes Fernández. Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire: An Analysis of its Psychometric Properties in College Students. Summa psicol. UST (En línea) [online]. 2013, vol.10, n.1, pp. 103-117. ISSN 0718-0446.

Honey-Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire's psychometric properties were analyzed. In order to do this, two different studies were developed: content and facies validity in one hand, and construct validity procedures in the other. The very first examined items and scale by expert judgment. The second one used principal components analysis (PCA) and internal consistency in a preliminary stage, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in the following. Two independent Argentinian college student samples were analyzed. Content validity results indicate the needing of modifying 8 items. Dichotomous answer scale was preserved. According to the results of construct validity, CPA showed four dimensions with better fit and good internal consistency. Only one of them -pragmatic component- responded to the original model. The remaining factors -assimilatory, convergent, adaptive- were identified as belonging to Kolb´s (1984) theoretical model. Confirmatory factor analysis compared PCA model with Alonso, Gallego and Honey´s model (1994), obtaining a better fit for the first. Results support PCA´s structural dimensions for the questionnaire.
