AU - Soliman, Mostafa Hafida AU - Jones, Brett AB - The purpose of the study was to determine whether the MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation is a valid model in an Arabic culture, through investigating the factorial structure and the construct validity of the Arabic version of the 26-item MUSIC Model of Academic Motivation Inventory (MMAMI). To do so, An Arabic translation of the MMAMI was administered to a sample of 233 third- and fourth-year Fayoum Faculty of Education students in Egypt. Data was analyzed through the use of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Our analysis produced the same five factors of the original MMAMI; empowerment, usefulness, success, interest, and caring, and provided evidence for the validity of the Arabic version of the MMAMI. Our findings provided evidence of the validity of the MUSIC model in an Arabic culture, as well as evidence for the validity of the Arabic version of the MMAMI. All model fits indicated that the hypothesized five- component model had a good model fit to the data. Findings were discussed in the light of the MUSIC model literature and the difference between the educational setting in Egypt and USA where the model and its inventory were developed.
