Turkish Adaptation of a Scale to Measure Three Modes of Motivational Regulation Strategies: Self-, Co-, and Socially Shared Regulation of Motivation for Collaborative Activity

Abstract

In this study, the scale of “Assess Self-regulation, Co-regulation, and Socially Shared Regulation of Intrinsic Motivation for Collaborative Activity (SCSRM)” developed by Ito and Umemoto (2021) was adapted into Turkish, and it was aimed to perform the validity and reliability studies of the scale. The original scale consists of 7 Likert and 15 items. The purpose of the scale was to identify experiences related to group activities in school tasks and to examine how intrinsic motivation affects the three modes of regulation. This research was carried out on 215 university students, who had completed group activities and learning tasks, using a purposive and convenient sampling method. The scale adaptation stages were followed in the study. At the last stage, the validity and reliability of the scale were calculated. In the analysis of the data collected in the study, various analyzes were used for the validity and reliability studies of the scale. As a result of the research, a valid and reliable scale that can be used to determine experiences related to group activities and to examine how intrinsic motivation affects the three regulation modes has been brought to the literature.
