Abstract

This study proposal aims to validate a research instrument in order to collect the necessary information to generate an institutional self-evaluation methodology of environmental management, taking into consideration those aspects related to the public higher education context of Panama. The instrument was submitted for consideration by experts in the field, applying the survey method, to give their opinion on the form and content of the instrument. From this
information, the instrument was validated and the reliability and understandability were also measured, calculating Cronbach's Alpha coefficient using the statistical program R, with which it was certified that the instrument can be applied as a methodology for institutional self-evaluation of environmental management, taking into account what is proposed by the GreenMétric University Ranking. For this, the instrument (poured into a Google Forms document) was applied to a population sample, composed of teachers (82) and students (200), who work or study at the
Regional University Centers of Azuero, Coclé and Veraguas. The first version of the questionnaire is, built, with the six sections of the aforementioned Index (Environment and Infrastructure; Energy
