Adaptation of Motivation for Learning in Higher Education Scale (EMAPRE-U) to Turkish / Yükseköğretimde Öğrenme Motivasyonu Ölçeği'nin (YÖMÖ-Ü) Türkçeye Uyarlanması

Abstract

This study aims to adapt the scale to Turkish in the sample of university students by examining the validity and reliability of the Learning Motivation Scale in Higher Education in Turkish culture. The study group of the research consisted of a total of 1325 (554 female and 770 male) people aged between 19 and 35 in order to examine the linguistic co-validity, equivalent scale validity, test-retest reliability, and to conduct exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Learning Motivation Scale in Higher Education and Academic Self-Efficacy Scale were used for data collection in the research. The data were analyzed with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis and t test for independent groups. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, it was determined that the scale consisted of a three-factor structure. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the determined structure was confirmed. It was seen that the learning, approach and avoidance goals sub-dimensions of the scale were associated with academic self-efficacy scores and the scale had equivalent scale validity. As a result of the reliability analysis, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the sub-dimensions varied between .82 and .87 in the study group in which exploratory factor analysis was performed, and between .79 and .82 in the group in which confirmatory factor analysis was performed. As a result of the test-retest analysis, it was observed that there were positive and high-level relationships between the pre- and post-test mean scores of the sub-dimensions of the scale. In addition, as a result of the analyzes carried out to support the criterion validity, the scores obtained from the sub-dimensions of the scale did not show a significant difference according to gender. According to these results, it can be said that the Learning Motivation Scale in Higher Education is valid and reliable.
