In an attempt to assess the levels of motivation and the usage of learning resources and strategies of college students, Pintrich, Smith, Garica and McKeachie (1993) developed an 81-item instrument entitled the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) based on the social cognitive view of motivation and learning. This paper examines the psychomteric properties of the MSLQ for Sultan Qaboos University. A sample of 952 students (506 females and 446 males) who were admitted at Sultan Qaboos University in 2010 completed the MSLQ. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that first-order factor structures of a reduced form (71 items) of the MSLQ provided a good fit to the observed data compared to the second-order factor structures. The scores from the reduced form of the MSLQ exhibited acceptable levels of internal consistency compared to the long form of 81-items. Overall, the results indicate that MSLQ provides reliable and valid interpretations of the motivational orientations and usage of learning strategies and resources of students entering SQU. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Case Study src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of College Student Journal is the property of Project Innovation Austin LLC and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
