Abstract

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
