== Introduction ==

{{quotation|The Motivation and Self-regulation towards Technology Learning (MSRTL) instrument was developed based on the previous instruments measuring students’ motivation and self-regulation towards science learning. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were utilized to investigate the structure of the items. Cronbach’s alpha was applied for measuring the internal consistency of each scale.}} (Liou & Kuo, 2014) <ref name="liou2014"> Pey-Yan Liou & Pei-Jung Kuo (2014) Validation of an instrument to measure students’ motivation and self-regulation towards technology learning, Research in Science & Technological Education, 32:2, 79-96, DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/02635143.2014.893235 </ref>)
