초록

The purpose of the present study is to discuss the development of a measuring instrument for Korean high school students’ motivation in learning English within the framework of motivation as a contextually and temporally dynamic construct. Based on the results of a previous study, exploring Korean high school students’ English-learning motivation through exploratory factor analysis, this study examines the reliability of a survey instrument used in the previous study and the fit of five factor solutions(i.e., a measurement model consisting of five factors) and tests the significance of factor loadings through confirmatory factor analysis. The data were collected from a total of 815 Korean high school students through two different data collection waves (1st wave=367 students, 2nd wave=448 students). The results show that (1) the reliability of the instrument is above 0.70, a criterion recommended and often used for defining acceptable reliability in the literature, in all two samples; (2) the 5 factor model acceptably fits well in all samples; and (3) all factor loadings are statistically significant
