An extended short scale for measuring intrinsic motivation when engaged in inquiry-based learning
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this paper was to extend the German multidimensional measurement (KIM) to assess participants’ subjective experience related to a target activity. This device consists of: one dimension with three items to test experience-based hypothesising and four dimensions to test intrinsic motivation. The data was gathered in Austria in 2017/18 in various primary schools (age=10 years, n= 677) after an inquiry-based learning lesson. The EFA revealed 15 items were loading on five factors. The reliability (Cronbach‘s α = .813 and Guttmann split-half coefficient = .834) and the validity (χ2(80) = 123.997; RMSEA = .0029 (90% CI = .018-.0038); CFI = .986; TLI = .982; SRMR = .029) proved significantly a good model fit. The six dimensional questionnaire EKIM can be used to test intrinsic motivation and when engaged in inquiry-based learning in primary schools.

“The term intrinsic motivation, according to Ryan and Deci (2000), is an important construct within schools and specifically refers to a human propensity to learn and assimilate.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
