英文摘要

In traditional theories of goal-striving, goal intention was regarded as the most important factor to determine whether a goal can be achieved. However, past empirical evidence indicates that even with strong goal intention, one may eventually fail to attain their goals without the formation of implementation intentions that illustrate when, where, and how goal-directed responses are to be executed. The present study aims to understand the structure of high school students’ implementation intentions for English learning by developing a valid and reliable scale to measure them. The present scale of implementation intentions for English learning is validated with the Rasch measurement model based on Item Response Theory (IRT). The results show that the scale is unidimensional, and the only variable affecting students’ responses is the level of implementation intentions of each student. The results provide evidence that the present scale is valid and well-designed. The implications and significance of the present research for teachers is that it measures and ascertains students’ implementation intentions for English learning, both in class and after class; it also provides a preliminary foundation for researchers to continuously probe into the issue in the future.
