The study of school motivation behavior of adolescent is crucial for every
culture; but there is no valid scientific tool for measuring the same in
Bangladeshi culture. Considering the significance of the School
Motivation Inventory (SMI), the purpose of the present study was to
culturally adapt the SMI (Indian Bangla version) into Bangla and validate
in Bangladeshi culture. One thousand participants (491 males & 509
females) participated in the study. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)
which was done on sample 1 (n1 = 500) identified a three-factor of the
SMI with 30 items. The three factors namely ‘Commitment, interest &
enthusiasm’ ‘Affiliation with parents and peers’ and ‘Making excuse and
blaming others’ together explained 42.35% of the total variance. When
analyzed the data for sample 2 (n2 = 500) in Confirmatory Factor
Analysis (CFA), it was revealed that the three-factor model with 30 items
is an acceptable model fit [χ 2 (398) = 2.18, RMSEA = .05; RMR = .07;
CFI = .90, GFI = .89] to the data. Moreover, the SMI showed good
internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .91) and strong convergent and
discriminant validity. Thus, the Bangla version of SMI appears to be
valid and reliable and therefore may be used in further research for
measuring school motivation behavior of adolescent student in the
perspective of Bangladesh.
