The Test-Retest and Inter-rater Reliability of the Teacher Rating of Academic Achievement Motivation
Year: 1993
Type: dissertation
Abstract: The Teacher Rating of Academic Achievement Motivation (TRAAM) is in development as a measure of academic achievement motivation. To examine the scale's test-retest and inter-rater reliability, teachers rated 90 third through sixth grade students. Results indicated that the TRAAM, in general, is reliable. The test-retest reliability coefficient for the TRAAM Total Score was .96. The four factor scores of the TRAAM were also found to be consistent over time with reliability coefficients ranging from .85 to .93. Inter-rater reliability of the TRAAM was also found to be adequate for the Total Score (r=.77). The inter-rater reliability coefficients of the factor scores were lower but adequate except for Factor 3 (r=.46). Limitations and implications of the study are discussed.
