Abstract:
Objective:To develop a scale to assess motivation and use of learning strategies in the course of biochemistry for medical students in the theoretical frame of Zimmerman's cognitive theory.Methods:A total of 62 items was developed in the scale based on the revised motivated strategies for learning questionnaire (MSLQ), and 323 medical students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were selected as subjects. The collected data were analyzed by item correlation, reliability and exploratory factor analysis.Results:Results of reliability analyses showed that Cronbach's α of the scale and two sub-scales were robust (all greater than 0.8), demonstrating good internal consistency. Results of exploratory factor analysis revealed that three factors in the motivation sub-scale were intrinsic value, self-efficacy and learning anxiety, and eight factors in the strategy sub-scale were critical thinking, organization, rehearsal, learning monitoring, learning planning, learning summarizing, time and study environment management, and peer learning.Conclusion:The reliability and validity of the scale are considered to be good, and the scale is of certain application value to understand self-regulated learning of biochemistry for medical students.
