Our intention was to study the attitudes of educators in the context of the research project entitled «Integration of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) as teaching tools at University within the framework of the European Higher Education Area». To do this, a Likert-type scale of attitudes was created rigorously following all the steps indicated by the experts. The scale consists of 24 items along with their characteristics of discrimination (all the t values for each item when compared to the averages among extreme groups are highly significant); reliability (calculated through different procedures, provides us with values, all of which are above 0.95); and validity (factorial validity; criteria validity: a correlation of 0.92 between the scores of the scale regarding the criterion «behaviour») could be considered completely satisfactory. Pretendemos estudiar las actitudes de los docentes en el contexto de la investigación «Integración de las TIC como herramientas docentes en la universidad dentro del marco del espacio europeo». Para ello se ha elaborado una escala de actitudes tipo Likert siguiendo con rigurosidad todos los pasos indicados por los expertos. La escala construida consta de 24 ítems y sus características de discriminación (todos los valores t para cada ítem al comparar las medias entre grupos extremos son altamente significativos); fiabilidad (calculada por distintos procedimientos nos proporciona valores todos ellos superiores a 0.95) y validez (validez factorial: estructura factorial unidimensional con un primer factor que explica por sí solo el 50% de la variabilidad; validez criterial: una correlación de 0.92 entre las puntuaciones de la escala respecto al criterio «comportamiento») pueden considerarse plenamente satisfactorias
