Resumen
This paper contains the results of the process of
checking the comprehensibility of a self-report questionnaire,
called Self-Testing Questionnaire for Reading Difficulties in
Adults (ADDA by its abbreviation in Spanish), to detect
university students with reading-writing difficulties in
Colombian universities. It describes the step of the selection,
design, and implementation of the ADDA that was used for this
pilot study, in which students from two virtual universities
participated: EAN University and Santo Tomas University.
The aim is to identify the potentialities of the ADDA for the
detection of learning difficulties in the Colombian context. Two
studies were performed to check and adapt ADDA. The first
study was carried out with two professionals in languages and
six expert teachers (focus group) in education, psychology,
mathematics, linguistics, and technology. The second one was
developed with 30 first year students from different academic
programs from both universities. Results show that ADDA can
be applied in the Colombian context
