The universe was made up of 30 experts, from which a sample of 20 experts was selected who met the inclusion, exclusion and exit criteria. Results: 75 % of the experts were female, 50 % of them had between 6 and 10 years of teaching experience and 75 % had a Master's degree in Sciences. More than 95% of the teachers judged all the dimensions as very adequate.
