The confirmatory factor analysis of teacher’s research motivation scale

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the research is to develop the measurement of motivation scale of in class action research conducted by school teachers. The sampling includes 403 teachers, subordinated to the Office of The Basic Education Commission. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires of 20 questions, which were designed into five levels following to the motivation scale in research measurement. This questionnaire consists of three latent variables with nine questions of intrinsic motivation, six questions of failure avoidance and five questions of extrinsic motivation. The purpose of confirmatory factor analysis is to test the construct validity of research latent variables that found the harmony correlation of empirical data contained in this research model. Moreover, the correlation matrix of 20 observed variables shows the correlation among latent variables of intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation with the significant level of statistic correlation at 0.05. The highest value of correlation scored 0.696 is founded on observed variables of the intrinsic motivation latent variable.
