(190) 21st Article : Prediction of school performance: the role of motivational orientation and classroom environment

The purpose of our study was to find out whether the influence of the classroom environment on school performance was moderated by the orientation of motivation. The results showed that all types of motivational orientation (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation) were significant predictors of achievement. These findings confirm the results of previous studies that highlight that intrinsically motivation has a coaching effect on achievement. The results of this study indicate that the influence of classroom environment on achievement is moderated by extrinsic motivation.
