چگونه سازه های انگیزشی برای پیش بینی عملکرد خواندن ابتدایی دانش آموزان تعامل می کنند: نمونه هایی از نگرش و خودپنداره در خواندن

This study explored the factors underlying reading motivation measured in the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) and investigated the relations between those motivational factors and reading performance using U.S. data from PIRLS 2006. A special focus was given to interacting relations between different motivational facets in their prediction of reading performance. First, results revealed that PIRLS reading motivation items clustered under two facets within each of the two dimensions: extrinsic vs. intrinsic motivation under the attitude dimension and self-referenced vs. peer-referenced perceived competence under the self-concept dimension. Second, different facets under the same motivational dimensions interacted with each other when predicting reading performance. Third, reading motivation was a strong predictor of reading performance even after controlling for other literacy-related variables. Results confirmed the multidimensional and multifaceted nature of reading motivation with emphasis on the predictive power of internally oriented motivation. Results also demonstrated that interacting relations among different motivational factors should not be neglected.
