Development And Validation Of A Questionnaire To Assess Academic Learning Motivation Through Measuring Regulation Styles Among Indonesian University Students

Failure to complete studies on time was related to lack of motivation for academic learning. Based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Deci&Ryan, 2000), a questionnaire was constructed to measure motivation ranging from amotivation (non self-determined behavior) to intrinsic motivation (self-determined). Items were constructed and tested on two tryouts (N1=432, N2=392). Content validity was obtained through examination of a panel of experts. Construct validity, reliability (Ą>0.7), and item analysis were computed resulting in 94 items measuring six Regulation Styles. The questionnaire is valid to detect strengths and weaknesses in learning motivation which can be used for interventions to overcome related problems.
