| Descripción: | Introduction. The situation of lack of motivation in scientific education is increasingly worrying. Many and varied investigations have tried, under the approach of the Theory of Self-Determination, to approach a better understanding of motivation by studying different contextual variables. Among these variables, the textbook is an especially relevant element, given its important presence in the classrooms and its, in principle, competence character that, supposedly, makes them a motivating resource. Objetive. Therefore, it has been intended to design and validate a scale to measure the relevance of the science textbook, from this motivational competence perspective, for students aged between 10 and 14 years. Method. The design was made taking as reference the existing theoretical framework and for its validation a quantitative methodology has been used, using a survey technique. Results. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis revealed the existence of a single factor, achieving adequate adjustment rates. Likewise, the instrument showed adequate internal consistency, temporal stability, composite reliability and convergent validity. Finally, the positive and significant correlations obtained with the educational motivations, as well as the inverse with the amotivación, evidenced the validity of the instrument externally. Conclusions. Consequently, it was concluded that the scale was valid and reliable. |
