Abstract
ObjectiveTo assess the reliability and construct validity of the MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation Inventory in a student pharmacist population. MethodsThe MUSIC Inventory was administered via Qualtrics two weeks prior to mid-semester examinations in three required pharmacy courses, representing three distinct cohorts. Cronbach’s α reliability estimates were calculated to measure reliability. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the overall sample to measure construct validity. ResultsStudents returned 154 usable responses (response rate = 75%). Cronbach’s α values for the overall sample were close to or above 0.9 for all subscales. Exploratory factor analysis found that the items loaded to five distinct factors. The median completion time across the three cohorts was 119.8 seconds. ConclusionsThese preliminary findings suggest that the MUSIC Inventory may have sufficient reliability, validity, and ease of administration to be a useful tool for pharmacy faculty desiring to adjust their instructional design to maximize student motivation to learn.
