摘要：EVALUATING LEARNING MOTIVATION OF 2 TO 3 YEARS OLD CHILDREN.The aim of this study was to design and validate an instrument to measure kindergarten children´s learning motivation. This construct has been studied through its four determinants: beliefs and expectations, task value, standards of performance and attributions about success and failure. The instrument is designed for two to three years old children, so that its features are related to this age. The sample used was of 126 children aged between 2 and 3 years (69 females and 54 males), attending to six public and private kindergartens in the province of León. The EMAPI (Assessment Questionnaire of Kindergarten Learning Motivation) was applied to them in an individual way. This instrument is comprised by 22 pictogram statements where children must choose between two options. Results are encouraging although the Cronbach`s alpha is not too high, as it shows the possibility of measuring the learning motivation of kindergarten children. So it seems necessary to continue in this research line in order to improve the instrument. In conclusion, it is proved the possibility of measuring the kindergarten learning motivation, what had not been done before, but there are several areas of improvement as it has been stated above. This research has been possible thanks to the University of León, which funded the ULE20011-4 project granted to Ana Mªd e Caso Fuertes to the 2012 year.
