• Studies have investigated the beginning of the decline in motivation during the transition of students to secondary school, with a low point in year 9. However, there are only a few studies that have researched the course of learning and achievement motivation separately for high-tracking school students, although—following the stage-environment fit theory—the specific learning environment is essential for the development of learning and achievement motivation. In addition, teacher-student relationships play a decisive role in the social and motivational development of students.
