Validation of Academic Motivation Scale: Short Indonesian Language Version

Abstract

The Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing states that there are five resources for evidence of validity which need to be examined in the evaluation of a measurement implement. The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) - Short Indonesian Language Version. The three stages of this study were conducted over differing time periods, as well as differing resources of evidence of validity. In the first stage, the only resource of evidence of validity used was in the form of testing for reliability and correlation between the items, which aimed at determining just which items would be utilized in the short version. Meanwhile, with the second and third stages, after the items had been reduced, evaluation was conducted based on two resources of evidence of validity, the internal structure, covering reliability testing and analysis of confirmatory factors, and resources of evidence of connections to other variables. Results of the reliability testing showed an alpha Cronbach value of more than 0.7, with corrected item total correlation of all items above 0.3 Results of factor analysis also indicated that all items grouped within its dimension, as well as the results of correlation analysis also indicating results in accord with earlier pieces of research. It may be concluded that the Academic Motivation Scale-Short Indonesian Version may be considered to be a reliable measurement instrument to measure academic motivation.

“…As it was reported in the research, AMS-Versi Bahasa Indonesia was a valid and reliable scale due to the alpha cronbach value that was ranging between 0.746 -0.898 and its CITC value that was ranging between 0.467 -0.728. However, the AMS used in this research was the AMS Bahasa Indonesia -Versi Singkat that was developed by Natalya (2018) with the details Tabel 1. As stated in the research by Natalya (2018), AMS Bahasa Indonesia -Versi Singkat had its alpha cronbach ranging between 0.729 -0.876 and its CITC ranging between 0.466 -0.719.…”

Peran motivasi sebagai mediator antara kesiapan belajar daring dan pengalaman belajar mahasiswa di masa pandemi COVID-19

“…Motivasi akademik didefinisikan sebagai proses yang dilakukan siswa dalam menetapkan, mempertahankan, dan mencapai suatu target akademik tertentu. Alat ukur yang digunakan untuk mengukur motivasi akademik pada mahasiswa adalah AMS -Short Indonesian Language Version yang dikembangkan oleh Natalya (2018). Alat ukur ini digunakan karena sesuai dengan definisi motivasi dalam konteks akademik yang mengacu pada pendekatan self-determination theory oleh Ryan dan Deci (2000).…”

“…Several existence studies in various countries such as France (Blanchard et al, 1997), Canada (Vallerand et al, 1992, the USA (Osei Akoto, 2014), Italy (Alivernini & Lucidi, 2008), Turkey (Can, 2015), Norway (Støen Utvaer & Haugan, 2016), and Indonesia (Marvianto & Widhiarso, 2019;Natalya & Purwanto, 2018;Wasityastuti et al, 2018) have proven the instrument's validity and reliability. AMS shows good reliability and validity tested on school (Alivernini & Lucidi, 2008;Bacanlı & Sahinkaya, 2011;Marvianto & Widhiarso, 2019;Støen Utvaer & Haugan, 2016) and college students (Orsini, 2015;Can, 2015;Osei Akoto, 2014;Natalya, 2018;Natalya & Purwanto, 2018;Vallerand et al, 1992;Wasityastuti et al, 2018).…”
