TEST TO ASSESS MOTIVATION

QUESTIONNAIRE TO ASSESS THE MOTIVATION

• OBJECTIVE
The objective of the questionnaire is to know the purposes or goals that the student uses when learning and their
attributions regarding the successes and failures that they achieve.

• APPLICATION
Questionnaire A is designed to be completed by the teacher based on their observations and impressions about
the purposes that students pursue when they learn.
Questionnaire B can be completed by the students themselves in writing, or transformed into questions that are
formulated verbally for the youngest students.

• CORRECTION
The responses to which a score of 3 (quite a lot) and 4 (a lot) have been given should be considered.
The analysis of these results should be aimed at identifying learning goals that are not considered adequate and,
therefore, to detect motivational problems to which an attempt should be made to respond.
