Resumen
El objetivo de este trabajo fue desarrollar un instrumento válido y fiable para evaluar la percepción del alumnado de las fortalezas fundamentales de un centro educativo o activos escolares según el enfoque del desarrollo adolescente positivo. Para ello, en primer lugar, se creó una escala a partir de una revisión de los instrumentos existentes que evaluaban el clima escolar y las dimensiones relevantes del contexto escolar, identificadas como factores promotores del desarrollo sociopersonal y del ajuste adolescente. En segundo lugar, para asegurar la validez de contenido de la misma, se llevó a cabo un juicio de expertos. Y por último, la escala fue administrada para el análisis de sus propiedades psicométricas a una muestra constituida por 2,400 adolescentes (1,068 chicos y 1,332 chicas) de 12 a 17 años (M = 14.73, DT = 1.25) que cursaban estudios de educación secundaria en centros públicos y privados de Andalucía Occidental. Los resultados obtenidos han permitido avalar la adecuación de las propiedades psicométricas de la escala construida. Queda para futuras investigaciones comprobar la validez externa y predictiva del instrumento
