Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the college–level MUSIC model of motivation inventory. Three approaches were used to test the inventory, the internal consistency reliability, the fit index and factor loadings, and the correlation between the five scales in the MUSIC model inventory and student engagement. The results showed that this inventory demonstrates acceptable psychometric properties for use with college students. Therefore, College professors can use the MUSIC model inventory to assess students’ motivation-related course perceptions in order to improve their teaching capabilities and overall professional development.
