Abstract

The purpose of the present research is to validate a measure of motivation collimated from an individual’s motivational, affective, and personality traits. The Motivational Assessment Tool (MAT) is being developed to assess multiple variables for an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) to deploy individualized adaptations through various levels of learner profiling. This first study factor analyzed a pool of 303 questions aimed at reducing, refining, and developing scales. Overall, the results of the first factor analysis shows that the MAT is composed of 28 factors. The produced scales are supported by correlations with other factors identified in psychology. The MAT is envisioned to provide inputs into an intelligent tutor’s pedagogical strategy to adapt its learning methods to support the learner’s motivational type.
