Abstract
This paper presents a methodology to validate an instrument for the assessment of competencies associated to a psychology students’ profile. Using a quantitative non- experimental- correlational design, with the participation of the school of psychology faculty, a tool was developed based on a group of selected competencies. The validation process was conducted by applying the instrument to second year psychology students. Results demonstrate its validity and contribute to the research on the development and validation of instruments designed to determine whether teaching - learning strategies are achieving the proposed competencies in students’ education.
