Abstract

In the context of scientific research, measurement is a matter of vital relevance in quantifying the aspects within it. In this process, the measurement instrument plays a central role, if it does not represent the appropriate study variables, research is not relevant. Studies on the subject broadly cover their different issues at a high level and do not describe thoroughly the details of the process. Hence, this work pursues to provide ISDi professionals and students with detailed information and a thorough methodology to follow that facilitates this procedure. This methodology includes different aspects that an appropriate measuring instrument, specifically a questionnaire, must present and in detail what involves its validation.
