This brief self-report measure is designed to screen students’ attitudes toward school and learning. The School Motivation Assessment Questionnaire is intended to provide a quick snapshot of a child’s general engagement and interest in the academic setting.
The instrument includes 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items are phrased in a simple, developmentally appropriate format for use with elementary-age students, and responses can be summarized to identify relatively higher or lower levels of school-related motivation.
The School Motivation Assessment Questionnaire may be used in group or individual settings to support early identification of students who may be experiencing school disengagement and to inform follow-up assessment or intervention planning. It is commonly attributed to Jacquelynne S. Eccles and Allan Wigfield.
