How can measure motivation or attitudes in experimental studies in education? Can we use psycological scales such as motivation or atttitude scales in the experimental studies in the inverstigations of the effects of methods? Otherwise should we just use a success test in the experimental studies?
I would differentiate between intrinsic and extrinsic measures of motivation in education. If you measure intrinsic motivations, you could consider in psychological factors and split motivation in positive emotions such as joy or self esteem. To measure emotions, you could use https://www.researchgate.net/publication/278383087_Opinion_Mining_and_Lexical_Affect_Sensing
Extrinsic motivation could be measured by considering grades in particular courses.
I also found a book you could find helpful.
