Abstract: 
The study examines the psychometric properties and the factor structure of the online version of the Learning and Achievement Motivation Scales (SELLMO) as well as the Academic Self Concept Scales (SESSKO) compared with the paper version. Furthermore, the study clarifies which version (paper/online) shows an increased response rate from the students. A sample of 810 prospective teachers completed either the paper or online version. Prospective teachers with A to L as first letter in their surname received the paper questionnaires; participants with M to Z responded online. The online response rate was considerably higher than the paper-based one. Moreover, we found that the paper and online versions show comparable psychometric properties. In addition, the factor structure described in the manuals could be replicated.
