| description | The aim of this study is to verify the psychometric properties of the
translation of the questionnaire which is designed for self-assessment of
students’ motivation toward science learning, SMTSL. Besides being translated
and adapted to Serbian language, the questionnaire was adapted to the
specific properties of chemistry as a school subject. The administered
questionnaire consisted of 29 items in the five-point Likert scale and
contained five subscales which assessed a sense of self-efficacy for learning
chemistry, active learning strategies, chemistry learning value, performance
goal and achievement goal. The suitability of the theoretical model and
psychometric characteristics of the questionnaire were assessed on the sample
of 741 grammar school students. The results show that the tested model has
good fit indicators. The calculated values of the indicators of reliability
and representativeness indicate quite satisfactory psychometric properties of
the questionnaire and it can be used in further research. |
