Strategies for regulating motivation and motivation to learn of High School students
Keywords:
Brazilian students, High school, Motivation regulationAbstract
The aim of this study was to investigate motivational regulation strategies and motivation to learn of High School students, as well as to examine the intercorrelations between these two variables and their relationships with sociodemographic variables. The sample of the study was composed of 233 students from two public schools, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and two Likert scales. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics procedures. Results revealed that students seem to use motivational regulation strategies and generally feel motivated to learn. Female students reported using significantly more strategies to stay motivated than did males. Positive and significant correlations were found within the factors of the motivational regulation strategies scale and between the two scales. It is expected that the present study stimulates further research and contributes to the design of interventions to strengthen students´ motivation to learn.
