Nevertheless, further validity and reliability analysis are required to confirm these initial findings with a larger and more representative sample. The statistical analysis reflects the scale’s three-dimensional nature, explaining 67.87% of the variance and presents adequate psychometric properties (α = 0.87).
A multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was performed to examine the psychometric properties of the SMEPT-SPS. This study sample was composed of 90 Spanish undergraduate sports-management students (M = 22.56 SD = 3.55).
Therefore, this research’s main objective is to develop and perform a preliminary validation of the social media as an educational and professional tool student perceptions scale (SMEPT-SPS). Although social media has an increasing presence both in university and sports settings, in the sports-management education context, no instruments (without being focused on one particular social-media platform, e.g., Facebook and Twitter) have been developed and validated that globally allow the academy to explore the perceptions of sports-management students concerning the educational and professional learning potential that these tools offer.
