Measuring Motivation Orientation and School Readiness in Children Served by Head Start

Bustamante, Andres S.; Greenfield, Daryl B.

Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v52 n2 p128-144 2019

Currently, the most widely used direct assessment of motivation orientation for preschoolers has little to no research on its reliability and validity. This study examined the test-retest reliability and concurrent and predictive validity of this direct assessment. Results highlight potential limitations of this measure in capturing motivation orientation in preschoolers from low-income families.
