LA MOTIVATION SCOLAIRE ET SES THÉORIES ACTUELLES : UNE RECENSION THÉORIQUE
Keywords:
motivation, education, self-determination theory, expectancy-value theory, achievement goal theoryAbstract
À l’école, l’importance de la motivation comme vecteur de la réussite est bien connue. Conçue comme une force qui dynamise et oriente le comportement de l’apprenant dans la poursuite d’un but, la motivation à apprendre a été appréhendée au fil du temps sous la loupe de diverses approches théoriques. Ces dernières présentent cependant des conceptions distinctes et complémentaires de la motivation, ce qui peut rendre sa compréhension complexe, spécialement pour le lecteur peu averti. Cet article offre un survol de trois théories dominantes dans le domaine, soit la théorie attentes-valeur, la théorie des buts d’accomplissement et la théorie de l’autodétermination. Il souligne ainsi les similarités entre ces théories et propose un modèle intégrateur qui précise le concept de motivation scolaire.
CURRENT THEORIES On SCHOOL MOTIVATION: A THEORETICAL REVIEW
In school, the importance of motivation to promote achievement is well-recognized. Conceived as what moves people to act and pursue a goal, achievement motivation was studied in light of diverse theoretical approaches. However, these approaches provide distinct but complementary conceptions of achievement motivation, which may make the construct harder to understand, especially for non-experts. This article offers a theoretical review of the three dominant theories of school motivation, namely expectancy-value theory, achievement goal theory, and self-determination theory. It also highlights similarities between each theory and proposes an integrative model to better conceptualize the construct of school motivation.
