Abstract

The objective of this study was to adapt and verify the validity evidence of a Reactions Scale to Instructional Procedures in Distance Education. The investigation was carried out in a Brazilian federal public university and 507 students participated in the study. Descriptive and exploratory factor analyses were used. The Scale of Reactions to Instructional Procedures in Remote Teaching was obtained, with a KMO of 0.91 and two factors. Factor 1, Instruction Planning, grouped 10 items, with an excellent internal consistency index of 0.90 and factor loadings between 0.43 and 0.75. Factor 2, called Instructional Events showed an internal consistency index of 0.82 for 2 items, with factor loadings of 0.81 and 0.82. The suggestion to maintain the bifactorial structure was motivated based on Gagné’s theory, which can support the
