SELF-DETERMINATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT – AS FACTORS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOTIVATION FOR LEARNING IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: Self-determination involves understanding the behavior of individuals by referring to its motives that are genuine, individual. A close connection is observed between motivation and self-determination, as both are triggered by internal sources, without neglecting external factors. Therefore, the actions undertaken by the student will be determined by the effort he is willing to undertake, depending on the proposed goal and how it resonates with the feelings triggered. The self-determination theory of motivation (SDT, Deci, 1980) explains the student's commitment, enthusiasm and continued interest in education and learning (Deci & Ryan, 1985). In the relationship between self-determination and motivation, we must also constantly consider environmental factors, because the student reacts to the educational activity and in relation to its influences/variables.
