Abstract: Many lecturers question the necessity to incorporate changes in the methodology of their subjects and the lack of instruments to verify if the changes that these active methodologies have a desirable effect. In this sense, the validation of the JDS adapted to university teaching, allow to fill up this deficiency. Any lecturer that want to know the satisfaction of students with his teaching, have with this tool a robust procedure that can complement or clarify the information that arrives by the student's surveys or other sources. The model consists of seven scales that measure the characteristics of the job as well as an indicator of the motivate profile of the work (MPS) and six scales of satisfaction with diverse aspects of the job. The scales vary significantly when we compared the data obtained from an experimental group with active methodologies teaching with respect to two control groups with traditional teaching. The adapted version of JDS scales has suitab!
le values of internal consistency. Only the models hypothesized with correlated factors, display accepted values respect to the reliability of construct and the variance extracted and also the best values of goodness-of-fit indicators.
Keywords: Teamwork methodologies, student perceptions, engineering students.
