Description
Summary:This work aims to present the validation to the spanish language of the scale Intrinsic versus Extrinsic Motivation in the Classroom (Harter, 1981) adapted for schoolchildren in Uruguay. The study counted with the participation of a total of 912 children (52,4% girls and 47,6% boys), with an age average of 10.19 years (DT=1,10), from 10 schools (61.4% public and 38.6% private) all located in Montevideo, Uruguay. The structure of the scale was studied using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, the final model showed adequate fit index X2/df=2.63; GFI=.93; CFI= .89; NFI= .84, RMSEA=.05. The results obtained confirmed the five dimension structure originally presented by Harter (1981), they prove proper psychometric properties for the use of the instrument on the uruguayan population.
