The Validity and Reliability Study of the Turkish Version of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to adapt The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire to Turkish. After examining and confirming equivalency between English and Turkish versions, the scale was administered to 852 students from two universities. In order to examine the validity and reliability properties of the questionnaire, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach Alpha correlation coefficients, corrected item-total correlations and t-tests between items’ means of upper 27%-lover 27% points were used. Results of these analyses show that the first subscale, Motivation, has six factors, and the second subscale, Learning Strategies, has nine factors. The Cronbach alpha coefficients varied between 0.86 and 0.41. Corrected item total correlations ranged 0.66 to 0.19. According to t-test results, differences between each item’s means of upper 27 % and lower 27 % points are significant.
