Abstract

The learning climate is a proximal social context that provides contact between individuals and, as a result, has the potential to foster or frustrate basic psychological needs. This study aims to analyse the validity and reliability of the Learning Climate Questionnaire in a sample of university students from Cuenca, Ecuador. A pilot study with 175 participants was conducted, followed by a study with 403 participants from different fields of knowledge, selected by a probabilistic method. The data analysis employed both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. To test the models, the DWLS estimator was considered, given that the items are ordinal variables along with ?2, RMSEA, SRMR, CFI, and TLI.  The one-factor model showed better adjustment, which confirms the unidimensional structure. The results demonstrate that the questionnaire is a valid measure, with adequate properties for students to evaluate teaching autonomy support in the university context.
