Resumen

Evaluar las habilidades de escritura es clave para el desarrollo de métodos de instrucción que ayuden a los nuevos estudiantes con la escritura académica universitaria. Este artículo presenta el proceso de construcción y validación de un instrumento desarrollado para ese propósito. Al hacerlo, primero discutimos la construcción teórica de la prueba evaluativa, luego describimos el proceso a través del cual el instrumento fue desarrollado y validado, y, por último, presentamos los resultados obtenidos y discutimos algunas de sus diversas implicaciones para la instrucción
