Motivation Matters: Using the Student Opinion Scale to Make Valid Inferences About Student Performance

Abstract: Institutions of higher education are expected to address accountability and transparency of student learning and development efforts. The Student Opinion Scale assesses examinee motivation during testing and asks students to report level of effort invested and perceived importance of taks. This article evaluates validity evidence and supports widespread instrument use.

“…Only Finney et al (2016) supported Model 2 without modifications for the full set of 10 items. Interestingly, Finney et al (2016) was able to support Model 2 whereas other studies (Thelk et al, 2009) conducted in similar context and with similar examinees were not. Perhaps Finney et al (2016) did not need to include the correlated residuals in Model 2b to achieve fit because their analyses were based on the test-specific SOS, not the session-specific SOS used in Thelk et al (2009).…”

Perhaps Finney et al (2016) did not need to include the correlated residuals in Model 2b to achieve fit because their analyses were based on the test-specific SOS, not the session-specific SOS used in Thelk et al (2009). Sessoms and Finney's (2015) analyses were based on the session-specific SOS and they did not need a correlated residual between items 7 and 9 to achieve model fit; however, their analyses utilized only the 5 effort items and did not consider all 10 SOS items simultaneously.…”

“…The self‐reported instrument consists of the following five scales adapted from the MBAAM (Nikou & Economides, 2017b): Perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, behavioural intention to use, feedback, and user interface to collect information about the factors that influence the acceptance of mobile‐based assessment systems and determine how the acceptance influence the student learning performance. To collect data about motivation, the Student Opinion Scale questionnaire (Thelk et al, 2009) is adapted, which is a well‐known questionnaire for collecting data about student motivation in low‐stakes tests. Both scales from this questionnaire were used: Importance and Reported Effort.…”
