Zusammenfassung. Die vorliegende Studie diente der Entwicklung, psychometrischen Überprüfung und Validierung einer sprachlich vereinfachten Kurzversion der Skalen zur motivationalen Regulation beim Lernen von Schülerinnen und Schülern im Sinne der Selbstbestimmungstheorie der Motivation nach Deci und Ryan (1985). Sowohl aus Gründen der Zeitökonomie als auch für jüngere Schülerinnen und Schüler und Jugendliche mit geringer Lesekompetenz ist die Verwendung von kurzen und besonders einfach formulierten Fragebögen vorteilhaft bzw. angebracht. Die psychometrischen Eigenschaften und die Validität des Fragebogens wurden mit einer Stichprobe von N = 2 854 Schülerinnen und Schülern der 4. Bis 8. Schulstufe in den Fächern Mathematik und Deutsch überprüft. Die psychometrischen Kennwerte der Skalen zur Motivationalen Regulation beim Lernen (SMR-L) sind durchwegs gut. Anhand konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalysen konnte gezeigt werden, dass die postulierte Struktur gut begründet ist, und die Skalen invariant hinsichtlich Schulfach, Geschlecht und Schulstufe sind. Die Korrelationen der SMR-L mit Noten, wahrgenommener Autonomieunterstützung, fachspezifischem Selbstkonzept, Emotionen im Unterricht sowie mit Anstrengungsbereitschaft und Ausdauer sind theoriekonform.


Development and Validation of Scales Measuring Motivational Regulation for Learning

Abstract. This study aimed to develop, psychometrically examine, and validate a verbally simplified brief version of academic self-regulation scales based on self-determination theory according to Deci and Ryan (1985). Using short and simply worded questionnaires is advantageous for young students and inexpert readers and also for time-saving reasons. The psychometric properties and validity of the scales were assessed with 2,854 students from grades 4 to 8 in different school subjects. The scales assessing motivational regulation for learning (SMR-L) show good psychometric properties, a well-defined factor structure, and strong measurement invariance across school subjects, genders, and grades. Associations with achievement, perceived autonomy support, subject-specific self-concept, achievement emotions, as well as effort and persistence are consistent with theoretical assumptions and, thus, support the validity of the scales.
