Abstract

Abstract Objective: The teacher’s motivation is associated with his/her achievements, health and well-being, which reflect on the quality of teaching. Based on the Theory of Self-Determination, validity evidence of an instrument to assess teacher’s motivation for teaching was developed, containing 26 items to be answered on a Likert-type scale. Method: The questionnaire Teacher’s motivation for teaching was applied online in a sample of 509 higher education teachers, 50.39% female and 49.41% male, with ages ranging from 25 to 73 years. Data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis, using the Parallel Analysis method. Results: Exploratory Factor Analysis revealed a two factors structure with a few structural problems that required the deletion of some items. The 17-item version of the teacher’s motivation for teaching was simple and the estimated adjustment indexes were very good. Conclusion: The high factor loadings obtained among the items and the two factors to which they clustered allow to consider them representatives of the constructs Autonomous and Controlled Motivation.

教师教学动机:问卷效度证据

摘要目的:教师的动机关系到教师的成就、健康和幸福，反映了教学质量。基于自我决定理论，开发了一种评估教师教学动机的工具的效度证据，该工具包含26个项目，以李克特式量表作答。方法:在线应用《教师教学动机》问卷，对509名高等教育教师进行抽样调查，其中女性50.39%，男性49.41%，年龄25 ~ 73岁。数据分析采用探索性因子分析，采用平行分析法。结果:探索性因子分析揭示了两因素结构，结构问题较少，需要删除部分项目。教师教学动机的17项版本比较简单，估计的调整指标都很好。结论:项目之间的高因子负荷及其聚类的两个因素可以认为它们是自主动机和受控动机构念的代表。
