This process consists of two main phases: a qualitative and a quantitative one. The qualitative phase is based on the judgment of experts, who evaluate the instrument's relevance. To quantify this consensus and reduce subjectivity, Aiken's V coefficient is used. Subsequently, the quantitative phase focuses on measuring the instrument's internal reliability using Cronbach's Alpha, with an acceptable value between 0.7 and 0.9. After validation, the normality of the data is evaluated using tests such as Shapiro-Wilk for small samples (less than 50) or Kolmogorov-Smirnov for large samples (50 or more). This evaluation is crucial for selecting the appropriate statistical tests: if the data follows a normal distribution, parametric tests like the t-Student are applied; otherwise, non-parametric tests like the Mann-Whitney U are chosen.El proceso de validación de instrumentos de medición es fundamental en la investigación, particularmente en el campo de la ingeniería, para garantizar que los datos obtenidos sean confiables, este proceso consta de dos fases principales: una cualitativa y una cuantitativa, la fase cualitativa se basa en el juicio de expertos, quienes evalúan la pertinencia del instrumento, para cuantificar este consenso y reducir la subjetividad, se emplea el coeficiente V de Aiken, posteriormente, la fase cuantitativa se enfoca en medir la fiabilidad interna del instrumento utilizando el Alfa de Cronbach, con un valor aceptable entre 0.7 y 0.9 tras la validación, se evalúa la normalidad de los datos utilizando pruebas como la de Shapiro-Wilk para muestras pequeñas (menos de 50) o la de Kolmogorov-Smirnov para muestras grandes (50 o más), esta evaluación es crucial para la selección de las pruebas estadísticas adecuadas: si los datos siguen una distribución normal, se aplican pruebas paramétricas como la t de Student; de lo contrario, se opta por pruebas no paramétricas como la U de Mann-Whitney.Universidad Nacional de Jaén2026-01-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlapplication/epub+zipaudio/mpeghttps://revistas.unj.edu.pe/index.php/pakamuros/article/view/83510.37787/z2whae41Pakamuros Scientific Journal; Vol. 13 No. 4 (2025): Revista Científica Pakamuros; 94-115Revista Científica Pakamuros; Vol. 13 Núm. 4 (2025): Revista Científica Pakamuros; 94-1152522-32402306-980510.37787/xz9w9e93reponame:Pakamurosinstname:Universidad Nacional de Jaéninstacron:UNJspahttps://revistas.unj.edu.pe/index.php/pakamuros/article/view/835/761https://revistas.unj.edu.pe/index.php/pakamuros/article/view/835/762https://revistas.unj.edu.pe/index.php/pakamuros/article/view/835/764https://revistas.unj.edu.pe/index.php/pakamuros/article/view/835/765https://revistas.unj.edu.pe/index.php/pakamuros/article/view/835/766Derechos de autor 2026 Revista Científica Pakamuroshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:unj:article/8352026-01-06T22:09:29Z
