Résumé
Le but de l’étude était d’examiner l’importance relative de la motivation autodéterminée et des aptitudes scolaires dans la prédiction des absences scolaires et de l’intention d’abandonner les études. Un examen de rendement mesurant diverses aptitudes scolaires ainsi que l’échelle de motivation en éducation ont été administrés à 914 élèves de huitième année. Les résultats obtenus appuient les hypothèses de départ. Ainsi, les deux variables indépendantes présentent des liens avec les mesures d’absentéisme et d’intention de décrocher. Les analyses révèlent que des niveaux élevés de motivation autodéterminée et une bonne performance aux sous-tests d’aptitudes scolaires seraient négativement associés aux mesures d’absences scolaires et d’intention d’abandonner l’école.
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the relative importance of self-determined motivation and scholarly abilities in the prediction of absenteeism and the intention to drop out of school. A performance examination measuring various scholarly abilities as well as the scale of motivation in education were administered to 914 eight graders. The results obtained support the initial assumptions. The two independent variables are related with the measurements of absenteeism and of the intention of dropping out. The analyses reveal that high levels of self-determined motivation and a good performance on the scholarly abilities sub-tests are negatively related to absenteeism and intention of dropping outmeasurements.
Resumen
El objetivo del estudio era de analizar la importancia relativa de la motivación autodeterminada y de las aptitudes escolares en la predicción de las ausencias escolares y el deseo de abandonar los estudios. Un examen de rendimiento que mide varias aptitudes escolares así como la escala de motivación en educación han sido aplicados a 914 alumnos de octavo grado. Los resultados conseguidos confirman esas hipótesis iniciales. Es decir que las dos variables independientes presentan vínculos con las medidas de ausentismo y de deseo de abandonar. Los análisis indican que altos niveles de motivación autodeterminada y buenos resultados a las subpruebas de aptitudes escolares estarían ligados de forma negativa a las medidas de ausencias escolares y de deseo de abandonar la escuela.
Zusammenfassung
Das Ziel der Studie bestand darin, die relative Bedeutung der selbstbestimmten Motivation zu untersuchen und die der Schuleignung bei vorausgesagten Schulabwesenheiten und der Absicht, die Schule aufzugeben. Eine Leistungsprüfung, die dieunterschiedlichen Schuleignung sowie die Stufender Motivation in der Erziehung messen sollte, wurde an 914 Schülern der achten Klasse durchgefuehrt. Die erzielten Ergebnisse bestätigen die Anfangshypothesen. Somit stellen die zwei unabhängige Variablen Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Mass der Abwesenheit undder Absicht, die Schule aufzugeben, dar. Die Analysen zeigen, dass ein hohes Niveau an selbstbestimmter Motivation und eine gute Leistung an den schulischen Unter-Eignungstests mit den Maßnahmen wegen schulischer Abwesenheit und der Absicht, die Schule aufzugeben, negativ verbunden werden könnten.
