Year: 2013
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale to assess factors related to college students´ motivated learning. The scale was a Likert scale which assessed individuals´ goals, attitudes, motives, conditions, strategies and involvement while learning. The sample was proportional stratified random, and comprised 938 students from the University of Huelva, Spain. In the validation process, expert judgment, a pilot test, and factor analysis were used. The most outstanding features of motivated learning were cognitive, social and task goals, a success-oriented attitude, and reasons to study related to future employment. Motivated students excel in their studies, are able to work independently as well as in groups, use learning strategies more often, and get involved in their studies.
