Resumen

Para mejorar la formación del profesorado en el ámbito de las altas capacidades (AACC) es importante conocer qué actitudes docentes guían su respuesta educativa. Son varios los instrumentos creados para evaluar las actitudes docentes en este campo, pero es el cuestionario OGE publicado por Gagné (1991) el instrumento más utilizado hoy en día. En el presente estudio señalamos la necesidad de crear un nuevo instrumento y fijamos por objetivo diseñar y validar una escala en español que mida las actitudes educativas del profesorado hacia las AACC. Para ello, se seleccionó el instrumento DATA como base para su traducción y adaptación al español. Tras realizar un análisis exploratorio se observó una falta de consistencia interna, por lo que se reestructuró la escala dando lugar a una nueva formada por tres dimensiones (elitismo, adaptación curricular y aceleración), quienes respondieron 546 docentes desde educación infantil hasta formación profesional. Tras realizar un análisis confirmatorio con la nueva escala se obtuvieron índices favorables de fiabilidad y validez dando como resultado una escala óptima para medir las actitudes educativas del profesorado hacia las AACC.
