Construction and Validation of an Instrument to Measure Intercultural Citizenship in University Students

The purpose of this study was to determine the validity and reliability of a questionnaire to investigate the perception of intercultural citizenship. The design was instrumental in the quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 1,200 high school students between the ages of 11 and 17 from public schools at UGEL 06 in Lima. The basis of the intercultural citizenship questionnaire forms the dimensions of participation and coexistence assumed from the work of Palou, Rodríguez and Vila (2014). As results, an Aiken validity index of 1.00 was found, which indicates a high concordance and high internal consistency of the questionnaire through Cronbach's alpha coefficient, yielding a value of 0.920, which suggests a high reliability in the results obtained.
