Zusammenfassung

Este trabajo presenta una definición de la capacidad de innovación de los estudiantes universitarios. Para ello se propondrá el modelo de medida de las variables latentes, considerando la capacidad de innovación como un modelo de segundo orden formativo. Las escalas se han validado con una muestra de 332 estudiantes universitarios españoles. Podemos considerar que el modelo propuesto cumple, en general, con los criterios de validez de contenido y las pruebas de validación de escalas formativas. Ofrecemos a la comunidad académica un instrumento validado que puede ser usado, en el futuro, para medir variables dependientes o independientes de modelos causales. También representa una contribución para los profesores universitarios interesados en evaluar el grado de desarrollo de la competencia de innovación en sus alumnos
