The new proposals of change of educational methodologies in the university tend to the incorporation of the participation of the student and the work in group through active methodologies. The Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS) is one of the instruments of diagnosis used in the enterprise world to guide the transition from a traditional job to an enriched one. 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 (PMP) and six scales of satisfaction with diverse aspects of the job. We have adapted the Spanish version of the questionnaire Job Diagnostic Survey, verifying the validity and reliability of it with a sample of engineering students. Also, we verify its capacity to discriminate different educational methodologies. For this, we compared the data obtained from an experimental group with active methodologies teaching (N1=103) and two control groups with traditional teaching (N2=30; N3=68). 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.
