摘要本研究旨在编制一份测量学生科学学习动机的问卷。编制了自我效能感量表、主动学习策略量表、科学学习价值量表、绩效目标量表、成就目标量表和学习环境激励量表。本研究采用分层随机抽样的方法，选取中部地区不同年级、性别、成绩的初中生1407人进行问卷调查。整个问卷的Cronbach alpha值为0.89；对于每个量表，alpha值在0.70到0.89之间。SMTSL问卷与学生科学态度（r = 0.41）、与前学期和本学期科学成就测验(r（p) = 0.40、r(c) = 0.41）有显著相关（p < 0.01）。高激励者与低激励者在SMTSL得分上有显著差异（p < 0.01）。研究结果证实了SMTSL问卷的效度和信度。本文讨论了在研究和课堂上使用SMTSL问卷的意义。
The purpose of this study was to develop a questionnaire that measures students' motivation toward science learning ( SMTSL). Six scales were developed: self- efficacy, active learning strategies, science learning value, performance goal, achievement goal, and learning environment stimulation. In total, 1407 junior high school students from central Taiwan, varying in grades, sex, and achievements, were selected by stratified random sampling to respond to the questionnaire. The Cronbach alpha for the entire questionnaire was 0.89; for each scale, alpha ranged from 0.70 to 0.89. There were significant correlations ( p < 0.01) of the SMTSL questionnaire with students' science attitudes ( r = 0.41), and with the science achievement test in previous and current semesters ( r(p) = 0.40 and r(c) = 0.41). High motivators and low motivators showed a significant difference ( p < 0.01) on their SMTSL scores. Findings of the study confirmed the validity and reliability of the SMTSL questionnaire. Implications for using the SMTSL questionnaire in research and in class are discussed in the paper.
