Abstract

The concept of quality in higher education has become a topic widely debated and on which there is no consensus. The objective of this research was to determine the psychometric properties of a measuring instrument for the concept of quality in higher education. We do this through teachers according to the theoretical model of Harvey and Green, developed by the ECUALE group. We developed the study with a quantitative approach and explanatory non-experimental design. A non-probabilistic sample was selected including 213 professors in the areas of administrative economic and education. The factorial model values obtained from: Chi2 = 33,960, p =. 008; CMIN/DF = 1933; RMSEA =.066 from which we conclude that structural equations model presented an acceptable global fit to the observed data
