Abstract :Problems concerning student motivation have been setting important barriers to education. However, no measurement tool has been found that can determine students’ evaluations of motivational study conditions in the Turkish literature. The present study aimed to perform the adaptation of the Motivational Study Conditions Scale developed in German by Kauper et al., insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2010); into Turkish. University students insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=692); participated in the study. Exploratory factor analysis was performed over the data collected in the first step insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=352); and confirmatory factor analysis over the data collected afterwards insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=340);. The values obtained from factor analyses ranged within acceptable limits. Since the alpha internal consistency coefficients were between .69 and .88, the reliability of the scale was found appropriate. Coefficients of composite reliability were also seen to be consistent with the alpha reliability values. As for construct validity, discriminant validity in the context of divergent validity and convergent validity were examined, and acceptable values were obtained. It was concluded that the Turkish form of the scale was a valid and reliable measurement tool.
