| Abstract (English): | Research indicates that a positive attitude towards the subject of Physical Education (PE) is significantly associated with higher levels of physical-sport activity among schoolchildren. Based on this relationship, a scale was designed and validated to assess the "valuation of the PE subject," named E-VADEF-e. This instrument consists of 18 items distributed across four dimensions that define the construct. The study was conducted with a sample of students aged 10 to 12 from primary education schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were applied, along with psychometric tests to ensure the reliability and validity of the scale. Using structural equation modeling, adequate indices of absolute, incremental, and parsimonious fit were obtained, allowing for the confirmation of a clear dimensional model. This model identifies four key factors in the valuation of PE: (1) perceived usefulness and motivation in PE classes, (2) perceived enjoyment in PE classes, (3) comparison with other curricular subjects, and (4) perceived difficulty in PE classes. Standardized parameters showed a good fit between the exploratory and confirmatory models, supporting the factorial structure obtained. In conclusion, the E-VADEF-e scale represents a valid, reliable, and useful tool for assessing how students value the PE subject, providing relevant insights for guiding educational improvements.

| Abstract (Spanish): | La investigación señala que una actitud positiva hacia la asignatura de Educación Física (EF) se relaciona con niveles significativamente más altos de actividad físico-deportiva en escolares. A partir de esta relación, se diseñó y validó una escala para evaluar la "valoración de la asignatura de EF", denominada E-VADEF-e. Esta herramienta consta de 18 ítems distribuidos en cuatro dimensiones que definen dicho constructo. El estudio se llevó a cabo con una muestra de estudiantes de entre 10 y 12 años de centros de educación primaria de la Región de Murcia (España). Se aplicaron análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios, junto con pruebas psicométricas que garantizaron la fiabilidad y validez de la escala. Mediante ecuaciones estructurales, se obtuvieron adecuados índices de ajuste absoluto, incremental y de parsimonia, lo que permitió confirmar un modelo dimensional claro. Este modelo identifica cuatro factores fundamentales en la valoración de EF: (1) percepción de la utilidad y la motivación en las clases de EF, (2) percepción de la diversión en las clases de EF, (3) comparación con otras materias curriculares y (4) percepción de la dificultad en las clases de EF. Los parámetros estandarizados evidenciaron un buen ajuste entre el modelo exploratorio y el confirmatorio, lo que respalda la estructura factorial obtenida. En conclusión, la escala E-VADEF-e representa una herramienta válida, fiable y útil para evaluar cómo valoran los escolares la asignatura de EF y orientar mejoras educativas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
