en Case/Series Report <div style=text-align: justify;><strong>Aims: </strong>The use of WhatsApp can develop autonomous learning, however, there are still no tools that can measure it. This study was performed with the aim to analyze the psychometric properties of the Abbreviated Scale of Autonomous Learning with the use of WhatsApp in Peruvian university students.<br> <strong>Materials & Methods: </strong>In this instrumental study, in a non-probabilistic sample (n=411) of students, An exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability were estimated.<br> <strong>Findings: </strong>The statistics report that the AFE are acceptable and significant KMO (0.816) and Bartlett's test (1431.09; gl=6; p=0.0001). Robust analyses (χ²=24.180; p=0.0001; TLI=0.955; CFI=0.998; GFI=0.998; AGFI=0.994, and RMSR=0.043), show that the unidimensional structure acceptable and reported an internal consistency of 0.932.<br> <strong>Conclusion: </strong>The EBAA-4 is valid and reliable. Therefore, its use is recommended for university students.</div> ,Autonomous learning,Autonomous learning scale,WhatsApp use. 529 533 http://hehp.modares.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-66453-2&slc_lang=en&sid=4 J.
