- Abstract
This study employs Rasch Model analysis to assess the validity and reliability of the I-SMA instrument, aimed at measuring students’ motivation in learning Arabic language. Utilizing a cross-sectional survey design, data was gathered from 273 graduating students majoring in Arabic language across eight Malaysian universities. The I-SMA instrument incorporated 20 items derived from three sub-constructs: intrinsic, extrinsic, and holistic, employing a four-point rating scale extending from strongly disagree to strongly agree in the questionnaire. This study presents the examination of each item's quality within the instrument utilizing Winsteps version 5.2. Results indicate that all items on the I-SMA instrument meet Rasch criteria, establishing its reliability and validity as a tool for evaluating Malaysian students’ motivation in Arabic language learning, thereby enhancing language education assessment practices.
