Assessment of the class motitotional climate

Abstract

This study adapted and validated the CMC-1 questionnaire on Class Motivational Climate to the Venezuelan population. The questionnaire was developed in Spain by Alonso and García (1987) for students aged 11 to 15. The sample contained 1,690 students of both sexes in 7th, 8th, and 9th grades from 12 schools in Caracas (six public and six private). The factorial analysis detected a structure of six factors different from the one detected in the Spanish study.
