Leonid, Parmaksiz; Kanonire, Tatjana – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2022
The Rasch/Guttman scenario (RGS) measurement approach is a promising test development methodology. The purpose of this study is to compare the RGS measure of primary school students' motivation against more traditional self-report scales. The Scenario Scale of Extrinsic Motivation toward Math (SSEM-M) and its traditional counterpart were…

Jones, Sara – Reading Teacher, 2020
Measuring students' reading motivation is a common practice in literacy classrooms, and results often inform instruction. This mixed-methods study problematizes this practice, raising tensions between how reading motivation is measured and its enactment in a reading class. Key tensions include reading motivation as competition versus a collective…

Greene, Jeffrey A.; Bernacki, Matthew L.; Plumley, Robert D.; Kuhlmann, Shelbi L.; Hogan, Kelly A.; Evans, Mara; Gates, Kathleen M.; Panter, Abigail T. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students' motivations have a strong influence on whether and how they will persist through challenging coursework and into STEM careers. Proper conceptualization and measurement of motivation constructs, such as students' expectancies and perceptions of value and cost (i.e.,…

Hughes, Haning – Applied Language Learning, 2018
Students at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) are required to study a foreign language. In order to place students into appropriate language courses, especially less commonly taught languages defined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), effective language placement policies are essential. The author…

Alonzo, Dennis; Labad, Velma; Bejano, Jean; Guerra, Florence – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2021
Despite the advancement of the conceptualisations of teacher assessment literacy, teachers' assessment practices remain relatively low due to misalignment between teachers' beliefs on assessment and principles of effective assessment practices. The current assessment reform in the Philippines has not gained significant traction despite the ongoing…

Mahmut Sami Yigiter – Journal of Theoretical Educational Science, 2024
One of the main objectives of international large-scale assessments is to make comparisons between different countries, education policies, education systems, or subgroups. One of the main criteria for making comparisons between different groups is to ensure measurement invariance. The purpose of this study was to test the measurement invariance…

Karaman, Mehmet Akif; Smith, Robert – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2019
For decades, researchers have attempted to define and measure what motivates individuals to achieve. Numerous attempts have sought to measure achievement motivation by using self-report tests. The concepts of motivation and achievement motivation have a rich history of being discussed among different cultures. The purpose of this study was to…

Weatherill, Maryanne; Tibus, Elizabeth O.; Rodriguez, Amy D. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2022
Purpose: Motivation is a complex phenomenon that can influence a person's ability to make progress in treatment. We sought to understand how motivation is currently measured and utilized in aphasia rehabilitation by identifying treatment studies that (1) include measurement of motivation and (2) use motivation to predict treatment response.…

Social motivation--the psychobiological predisposition for social orienting, seeking social contact, and maintaining social interaction--manifests in early infancy and is hypothesized to be foundational for social communication development in typical and atypical populations. However, the lack of infant social-motivation measures has hindered…

Jones, Sara – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
Responding to calls for centering Black lives in our collective consciousness, this review uses Critical Race Theory to analyze researchers' inclusion of race in conceptualizing and operationalizing adolescent reading motivation. Two questions guide this review: (1) How do researchers include race in theories of adolescent reading motivation? and…

Deemer, Eric D.; Mahoney, Kevin T.; Ball, Jacqueline Hebert – Journal of Career Assessment, 2012
The authors examined the psychometric properties of the Research Motivation Scale (RMS) in a sample of faculty members (N = 337) in university science departments. It was hypothesized that the RMS would evidence partial measurement invariance across tenure status and noninvariance across gender, given the different sociocultural factors (e.g.,…

Endler, Anke; Rey, Gunter Daniel; Butz, Martin V. – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2012
The objective of this study was to investigate if an e-learning environment may use measurements of the user's current motivation to adapt the level of task difficulty for more effective learning. In the reported study, motivation-based adaptation was applied randomly to collect a wide range of data for different adaptations in a variety of…

Matthew A. Diemer; Michael B. Frisby; Andres Pinedo; Emanuele Bardelli; Erin Elliot; Elise Harris; Sara McAlister; Adam M. Voight – Applied Developmental Science, 2022
Critical consciousness represents the analysis and critique of structural inequalities, the motivation and perceived capacity to effect change, and social action to redress inequity. A wave of recent instruments measuring critical consciousness has been rigorously validated. Yet, whether these measures efficiently assess different levels of…

Tu, Chia-Ching; Yang, Dong; Mou, Yu Qing – International Journal of Educational Methodology, 2022
This study examined the effect of Yunnan's ethnic minority college students' acculturation on their academic achievement under the risk of the Matthew effect. Additionally, the role played by learning motivation in the relationship between ethnic minority college students' acculturation and academic achievement was explored. A total of 403 valid…
