Abstract

PONTES, Thiago Bessa  and  MIRANDA, Guilhermina Lobato. Validation in Portuguese Language of the Achievement Motivation Inventory. RISTI [online]. 2018, n.27, pp.109-125. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.27.109-125.

This research aims to validate the Achievement Motivation Inventory with a sample of Portuguese and Brazilian students who learn programming computer using 3D tools. The original Scale is in English was translated to Portugal and Brazilian Portuguese, and after retranslated to English, by three languages speakers. The final version was applied to our sample: 204 students, 102 Brazilians and 102 Portuguese. To the validation process, we determined three indexes: (i) the Sensibility of each item of the Scale, (ii) the Factorial Validity using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with Varimax Rotation, (iii) and the Cronbach Alpha. The results can be considered positive. The items presented a good or very good Sensibility; the EFA suggests that the factor structure proposed by the theoretical model was not confirmed in our sample; Cronbach's Alphas can be considered good.

Keywords : Achievement Motivation Inventory; Computer Programming; Factor Analysis; Inventory Validation; Python to CAD.
