<p>This research sought to verify the psychometric properties of the MSLQ-SF through an intentional sample of 180 students of Speech Therapy and Special Education (UNSL). It was an instrumental study whose results showed adequate reliability indices for the construct Learning Strategies, although for Motivation Cronbach's Alpha noticed some inconsistency in its structure. By performing the exploratory factorial analysis, two components were extracted for Motivation and seven for Learning Strategies, corroborating that in the constitution of each factor the items differed significantly from the version under study. This indicates a questionable validity of the construct and content of the instrument suggesting that it should not be used in this population.</p>
