The objective of this study was to design and analyze the validity of a questionnaire that meets the methodological requirements and psychometric requirements to assess the coping of learning in university students. The validation of the instrument has been carried out through expert judgment and confirmatory factor analysis of the theoretical model, with the factorial structure of this tool being reliable and with a good fit. The analyzes carried out have confirmed and demonstrated the dimensions or problems in the learning of the university student: methodological strategy, progress of the results, educational and learning environments, organization of the times, attributions in the results.
