La investigación sobre el clima motivacional en el aula (CMC) ha mostrado diferencias significativas entre las aulas en CMC. Sin embargo, no se sabe si el conocimiento motivacional de los docentes y las metas y expectativas relacionadas con sus alumnos contribuyen a tales diferencias y, en consecuencia, a los efectos de la CMC en los alumnos. Para responder a esta pregunta, un modelo multinivel de las relaciones entre a) el conocimiento y las características motivacionales de los profesores, b) las metas y expectativas de los estudiantes (SGE), c) la percepción de CMC, y d) la atribución de los estudiantes de la mejora motivacional percibida a los maestros (APMIT) se probó utilizando métodos de ecuaciones estructurales. Un total de 2.223 estudiantes de secundaria y preparatoria y sus 95 profesores participaron en el estudio
Research on classroom motivational climate (CMC) has shown significant differences between classrooms in CMC. However, it is not known whether teachers’ motivational knowledge, and goals and expectancies related to their students contribute to such differences, and consequently, on the effects of CMC on students. For answering this question, a multilevel model of the relationships among a) teachers’ knowledge and motivational characteristics, b) students’ goals and expectancies (SGE), c) perceived CMC, and d) students’ attribution of perceived motivational improvement to teachers (APMIT) was tested using structural equation methods. A total of 2.223 Secondary and High-School students and their 95 teachers participated in the study. Results showed that teachers’ motivational quality (TMQ) has a significant indirect effect on differences between classrooms in CMC, and on the students’ attribution of perceived improvement in motivational variables to teachers, but also that teachers’ characteristics differ in their contribution to TMQ, and so, to CMC.
