Wigfield and Guthrie’s Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ) consists of 53 items and
eleven reading motivation dimensions that can be used to compile a reading motivation profile
of learners. Wigfield and Guthrie, internationally recognised reading motivation researchers,
used the MRQ for different learner groups in different grades and countries to compile reading
motivation profiles of learners. During 2012, the questionnaire was used for the first time in South
Africa to compile the reading motivation profile of 806 Afrikaans-speaking grade 9 learners from
different geographical areas within an education district. In order to compile the reading motivation
profile of Afrikaans-speaking learners, the MRQ was translated. It was necessary to adapt some
of the items of the MRQ for the context of Afrikaans speaking learners in mainstream schools.
The analysed research results indicated that the MRQ could be interpreted as consisting of less
than eleven reading motivation dimensions identified by Wigfield and Guthrie. Some of the items
were interpreted as belonging to more than one of the eleven dimensions or to another dimension
as being placed within the original MRQ. The question was posed as to whether the same reading
motivation profile of a group learners can be obtained by using a more compact MRQ (fewer
items and fewer reading motivation dimensions). In the current article the conclusion is drawn
that the same reading motivation profile of the specified respondents can be obtained by using a
more compact MRQ than the original MRQ Wigfield en Guthrie se Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ) is ’n vraelys, bestaande uit
53 items en elf leesmotiveringsdimensies, deur middel waarvan ’n leesmotiveringsprofiel van ’n
bepaalde groep leerders saamgestel kan word. Wigfield en Guthrie, wêreldbekende navorsers oor
leesmotivering, het die MRQ verskeie kere vir leerdergroepe in verskillende grade en lande gebruik om leesmotiveringsprofiele van leerders aan die hand daarvan saam te stel. Gedurende 2012 is
hierdie vraelys vir die eerste keer in Suid-Afrika gebruik om die leesmotiveringsprofiel van 806
Afrikaanssprekende graad 9-leerders uit verskillende geografiese gebiede van ’n onderwysdistrik
saam te stel. Omdat die leesmotiveringsprofiel van spesifiek Afrikaanssprekende leerders vasgestel
moes word, is die MRQ vertaal. By enkele items was dit nodig om dit vir die konteks van
Afrikaanssprekende adolessente in hoofstroomskole aan te pas. Die 2012-studieresultate het
daarop gedui dat die respondente die MRQ geïnterpreteer het as bestaande uit minder as die elf
leesmotiveringsdimensies wat Wigfield en Guthrie geïdentifiseer het. Sekere van die items is
geïnterpreteer as behorende tot meer as een van die elf dimensies, of as behorende tot ’n ander
dimensie as dié waarin dit volgens die MRQ tuishoort. Dit het die vraag laat ontstaan of dieselfde
leesmotiveringsprofiel van ’n groep leerders verkry kan word deur middel van ’n meer vaartbelynde
MRQ (minder items en minder leesmotiveringsdimensies). In die huidige artikel is tot die slotsom
gekom dat dieselfde leesmotiveringsprofiel van die betrokke respondente verkry kan word uit ’n
meer vaartbelynde MRQ as uit die oorspronklike MRQ
