Título: Revisión de la escala de motivación educativa. Inclusión de la regulación integrada para medir la motivación en la formación inicial del profesorado Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue incorporar la medida de la regulación integrada en la Échelle de Motivation en Éducation en el contexto español de la formación inicial del profesorado. Participaron 496 profesores en formación inicial (233 hombres and 263 mujeres; Medad = 25.70, DT = 4.23) del master en formación del profesorado en educación secundaria y bachillerato, formación profesional y enseñanza de idiomas. El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró aceptables índices de ajuste para la estructura de 8 factores, la cual permaneció invariante respecto al género. La consistencia interna y la estabilidad temporal fueron satisfactorias para cada uno de los 8 factores. El análisis de regresión lineal indicó que la regulación integrada fue el mayor predictor sobre la intención de convertirse en docente. El nuevo instrumento puede contribuir a una comprensión más profunda de los procesos motivacionales involucrados en la formación inicial del profesorado. Palabras clave: motivación; propiedades psicométricas; teoría de la autodeterminación; profesorado en formación inicial. Abstract: The objective of this study was to incorporate the integrated regulation assessment into the Academic Motivation Scale within the Spanish initial teacher education context. There were 496 student participants (233 men and 263 women; Mage = 25.70, SD = 4.23) from the Masters in Teaching for Compulsory Secondary Education, Upper Secondary School Education and Professional Education, and Language Teaching. The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable fit-indexes for the eight-factor correlated structure and an invariant factor structure across genders. Internal consistency and temporal stability were satisfactory for each of the eight factors. The linear regression analysis indicated that integrated regulation was the strongest predictor of intention to become a teacher. This new instrument may contribute to a deeper understanding of the motivational processes involved in the initial teacher education context.
