Validating a Rapid Measure of Student Motivation: Using the Expectancy-Value Theory of Motivation to Understand Student Achievement and Interest in STEM Classrooms

这个全面项目的重点是开发一个快速、有效的规模。该量表将被教师、管理者和评估者用来根据基于期望价值理论(EVT)的理论观点来衡量学生的动机。该项目的特点是采用混合方法建立有效和可靠的测量方法，并建立了一个寻求六种效度和可靠性的效度框架。通过制定和验证该措施，项目团队成员将在教育和评估理论方面增加对激励的期望值-成本模型中成本因素的理解。在实际适用性方面，生成的量表将广泛用于预测重要的学习指标，并为潜在的进一步干预学生提供信息，以提高动机和其他学习结果。

This full scale project focuses on the development of a rapid, validated scale. The scale will be used by teachers, administrators, and evaluators to measure student motivation in accordance with a theoretical view grounded in Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT). The project features a mixed methods approach to establishing the valid and reliable measure along with an established validity framework seeking six types of validity and reliability. By developing and validating the measure, the project team members will add to education and evaluation theory in terms of informing understanding of the cost factor in the Expectancy-Value-Cost model of motivation. In terms of practical applicability, the resulting scale will be available for widespread use to predict important learning indicators and inform potential further interventions with students to improve motivation and other learning outcomes.
