One of the missions of Higher Education Institutions is the integral human formation of their students. The objective of this descriptive and non-experimental research work is to evaluate the validation and reliability of the content of an information collection instrument intended for undergraduate students of an HEI, in order to measure their social, emotional, and intercultural competencies (SEI), as developed from the contribution of the curricular internationalization strategies offered by the institution. 13 experts on the subject participated in the evaluation of the instrument. The result was a content validity ratio (CVR) in the range of 0.23 to 1, with a content validity index (CVI) of 0.92, which, by exceeding the minimum cut-off point of 0.54, shows that the evaluated measuring instrument is acceptable; furthermore, an average Cronbach's Alpha index of 0.81 shows that the evaluated instrument fits the research objectives.

Keywords : emotional skills; intercultural skills; social skills; SEI; instrument validation; content validity; CVR; CVI.
