Abstract

Introduction: Parents' motivational beliefs (PMB) are a critical factor in shaping children's educational experiences and outcomes. PMB plays a crucial role in supporting children's academic achievement. A literature review of PMB measurement instruments from 2005 to 2024 identified five relevant scales.

Objective: This study aims to adapt and validate the Parent’s Motivational Belief Scale developed by Walker et al. (2005), which serves as a foundation for various PMB-related constructs.

Method: The study follows the International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines using a six-step adaptation and validation procedure. A total of 987 parents participated in the study, but after data cleansing based on response completeness, completion time, and attention checks, 593 valid responses were analyzed. Participants ranged in age from 21 to 78 years (M = 35.93, SD = 7.6 years). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess the psychometric properties of the adapted scale.

Results and Discussion: The final instrument consisted of 17 valid and reliable items, and the model demonstrated a good fit to the data. These findings indicate that the adapted Parent’s Motivational Belief Scale effectively measures PMB within the Indonesian context while maintaining alignment with the original scale.

Originality/Value: This study highlights the relevance of PMB to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education, as parents with strong motivational beliefs tend to be more engaged in their children's education, fostering early literacy and academic achievement. The validated instrument is expected to be a valuable tool for future research on parental involvement and child development, particularly in Indonesia.
