大学生の英語学習動機尺度の作成とその検討

抄録

The purposes of this study were to make a scale to measure motivation of university students in their study of English and to examine the reliability and the validity of this scale. Twenty-two items were used in this study, which were theoretically classified into six orientations; fulfilment, training, practice, relation, self-esteem and reward (Ichikawa, 1995a). The results of factor-analysis showed that those items were composed of two factors; fulfilment-training and self-esteem-reward orientations. Cronbach's alpha coefficients of this scale were sufficiently high, and the test-retest reliability coefficients were appropriate compared with those of other scales of the same kind. The scores on this scale were moderately correlated with the amount of time spent in studying English, the scores on the Concepts of Learning Scale (Horino et al., 1990), the scores on the Achievement Motivation Scale (Horino & Mori, 1991), and the scores on the Self-consciousness Scale (Sugawara, 1984).
