向欧洲高等教育区的融合涉及大学领域的深刻变革。教学过程的重点从教师转移到学生身上。为了应对改革中的重大变化，巴斯克大学心理学系与欧洲其他院系一样，推出了一项试点计划，其中包括将多个本科课程适应ECTS（欧洲学分转换系统）。根据从 218 名学生样本中收集的数据，其中 143 名属于接受 ECTS 学分教学的实验组，75 名属于按照现行系统教学的对照组，本研究的目的是开发和验证一份调查问卷，从学生的角度评估该试点计划中采用的课程是否满足新系统提出的教学要求。结果表明，该工具具有四维结构，具有足够的内部一致性和良好的效度指标。
Convergence towards the European Higher Education Area involves a profound change within the university sector. The emphasis in the teaching-learning process shifts away from the teacher and onto the student. In order to deal with the major changes in the reform, the Faculty of Psychology of the University of the Basque Country, like other faculties throughout Europe, introduced a pilot scheme involving the adaptation of several undergraduate courses to the ECTS (the European Credit Transfer System). Based on data collected from a sample of 218 students - 143 belonging to the experimental group which received teaching based on ECTS credits and 75 belonging to the control group taught in accordance with the current system - the aim of this study was to develop and validate a questionnaire that assesses whether, from the students' viewpoint, the courses adapted in this pilot scheme met the pedagogical requirements proposed by the new system. The results show that the instrument has a four-dimensional structure with adequate internal consistency and good validity indices.
