The competencies associated with academicreading, especially the motivational aspects, are essential toundergraduate students’ academic success. Motivation is an emergingissue that has given rise to many studies, yet motivation for academicreading remains a subject rarely addressed or studied. To effectivelysupport the learning process, a diagnostic that is capable of providingprecise, valid and reliable information on the motivational aspects ofreading in an academic context is necessary. This article presents theresults of the process of construction and validation of the MotivationScale for Academic Reading (EMLA-acronymin Spanish), which was based on the Expectancy & Value model ofJacqueline Eccles and Allan Wigfield (2002), hereinafter EyV.This instrument provides clues for motivational intervention toincentivize reading in an academic context. Likewise, we also report onthe structure of the instrument, its theoretical foundations, its factorstructure and reliability—psychometric characteristics that make EMLA a solid, valid and reliable instrument.
