Intrinsic motivation has a crucial role in students’ learning and should therefore be taken into
consideration in educational activities. In this study, the short scale of intrinsic motivation scale
developed by Wilde et al. in 2009 was adapted to Turkish Culture. This is an intrinsic motivation
scale, which is an adapted, time-economic version of the “Intrinsic Motivation Inventory” introduced
by Deci and Ryan. The short scale has four factors, namely interest/enjoyment, perceived
competence, perceived choice and pressure/tension with three items each. Data were collected from
230 high school students in two public high schools in Northwestern Turkey in order to analyze the
scale's factorial and construct validity. The linguistic equivalence step was carried out by consulting
expert opinion because intrinsic motivation differs from one context to another. Results from a
confirmatory factor analysis, construct validity and tests for reliability showed that its version
adapted to Turkish is a good and time-saving assessment tool for measuring intrinsic motivation during lessons.
