CRUZ RAMIREZ, Miguel  and  MARTINEZ CEPENA, Mayelín Caridad. Refining a Tool for the Selection of Experts in Educational Research. REDIE [online]. 2012, vol.14, n.2, pp.167-179. ISSN 1607-4041.

In this paper we report a research study geared toward refining an empirical instrument for the selection of experts for educational research, according to its reliability and internal consistency. To this end we used a three-round Delphi technique and subjected the results to a factor analysis. Latent variables were determined that explain the nature of the sources of argumentation necessary for ensuring an adequate level of competence on the part of the experts.

Keywords : Expertise evaluation method; standardized test; methods research; Delphi technique.
