Proximal classroom-based goals and the distal reasons for those goals (i.e., the what and why of classroom learning), are predictors or consequences of many learning-related variables (Sommet et al., 2021). When considered together, these constructs—known as goal complexes—may offer greater explanatory power than goals or reasons alone (Sommet & Elliot, 2017). However, few studies have developed valid instruments to measure both components concurrently. This study aimed to improve item quality for items representing autonomous reasons for goals (Ryan & Deci, 2000) and approach goals from the 3×2 achievement goal model (Elliot at al., 2011) toward the eventual construction of a goal complex framework. Data were gathered at a public university in central Japan where students must demonstrate mastery of the New General Service List (NGSL, Browne, 2013). A questionnaire, composed of items targeting autonomous reasons (k = 5), mastery-based goals (k = 10), and other-based goals (k = 5), was administered to Year 1 students (response rate = 40%). Rasch analysis revealed that the sets of items performed well on most, but not all, of the criteria described by Fisher (2007).
教室内における近接的な目標と、それらに対する遠因的な理由(すなわち、学習の「何を」と「なぜ」)は、多くの学習関連変数の予測因子または結果とされている(Sommet et al., 2021)。これらの構成要素を複合的に考えることで、単独の目標や理由よりも高い説明力を持つ可能性があると考えられる(Sommet & Elliot, 2017)。しかし、これらを同時に測定する妥当なツールの開発はほとんど行われていない。本研究は、自律的な目標の理由(Ryan & Deci, 2000)および3×2達成目標モデル(Elliot et al., 2011)におけるアプローチ目標を表す項目の質を改善し、将来的に複合的な目標の枠組みを構築することを目的とした。データはNew General Service List(NGSL, Browne, 2013)の習得を求められる日本の中部地方にある公立大学で収集された。1年生を対象とした質問紙(回収率 = 40%)のRasch分析の結果は、Fisher(2007)によって示された基準の大部分を満たしてはいたが、すべてではないことが明らかになった。
