Motivation to learn chemistry: a thorough analysis of the CMQ-II within the Brazilian context

Abstract

Studies on students’ motivation to learn Chemistry in developed countries are largely common in the literature. However, very few studies have been carried out with a view to investigating students'...

Chinese chemistry motivation questionnaire II: adaptation and validation of the science motivation questionnaire II in high school students

“…This suggests that students who rated intrinsic motivation highly also rated career motivation highly. This result aligns with findings from other studies (Bryan et al, 2011;Glynn et al, 2011;Salta and Koulougliotis, 2015;Ardura and Perez-Bitrian, 2018;Dong et al, 2020;de Souza et al, 2022) and the consistent results confirm a strong relationship between career motivation and intrinsic motivation.…”

“…This indicates that students who rated self-efficacy highly also rated intrinsic motivation highly. This result fits with most other studies (Bryan et al, 2011;Glynn et al, 2011;Salta and Koulougliotis, 2015;Ardura and Perez-Bitrian, 2018;Dong et al, 2020;de Souza et al, 2022), although the degree of correlation vary slightly.…”

“…This indicates that This indicates that students who rated intrinsic motivation highly also rated selfdetermination highly. This result concurs with some studies (e.g., Bryan et al, 2011;Salta and Koulougliotis, 2015;Dong et al, 2020;de Souza et al, 2022), but differs from others (e.g., Glynn et al, 2011;Ardura and Perez-Bitrian, 2018). The mixed findings indicate a need for further research into the relationship between self-determination and intrinsic motivation.…”

“…Our study found a very large correlation between self-efficacy and self-determination, suggesting that students who rated self-efficacy highly also rated self-determination highly. This result is in line with some studies (e.g., Bryan et al, 2011;Dong et al, 2020;de Souza et al, 2022), but different to others (e.g., Glynn et al, 2011;Salta and Koulougliotis, 2015;Ardura and Perez-Bitrian, 2018). The inconsistent results suggest that further research into the relationship between self-determination and self-efficacy is also needed.…”

“…Similarly, Komperda et al (2020) also found the cross-loading of the item on self-efficacy. In contrast, some other studies (Schumm and Bogner, 2016;Schmid and Bogner, 2017;de Souza et al, 2022) had not found this crossloading. These results suggest that this item needs further investigation.…”
