Abstract

This paper presents an instrument to measure the learning that occurs in social networks sites. In the scientific literature there are few measures that allow knowing the learning processes in these digital environments. The design of the scale is based on the application of the Theory of Activity to social networks sites (Heo and Lee, 2013). The validation of the proposed scale is based on a descriptive survey-type study in which 1340 Spanish women participate, selected according to a stratified sampling by quotas, according to age. The data analysis combines exploratory and confirmatory techniques using SPSS (v. 24) and Smart PLS 3.0. The results show high indicators of reliability and validity of the scale. This assessment tool is especially useful to determine learning processes that occur in this type of digital environments, ultimately valuing their incorporation into various training strategies for the digital inclusion of women.
