The learning phenomenon in workplace has been object of great interest in studies by researchers and informal learning, through learning strategies respond for a relevant part in research competencies achievement. This study aimed to adapt a evaluation scale for this purpose in order to contribute to understanding how learning strategies are applied by participants to achieve research competencies in groups. The data were collected from members of research groups registered in CNPq and underwent descriptive statistics, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in order to validate the scale. Learning strategies were grouped in five factors (Active reflection, Reproduction, Seeking help through interpersonal relationships, Seeking help from written material and Practical application) and results indicated that CFA had adjustments near to the empirical model (CFI=0,902; RMSEA=0,80 e X2/DF=2,5) but better than theoretical model, indicating that the instrument can be improved to meet the theoretical expectation.
