    Education as Flourishing: Self-Determination Theory in Schools as They Are and as They Might Be
    (Oxford University Press, 2023-01-01)
    In the perspective of self-determination theory the central aim of education should be that of enhancing students’ flourishing. Flourishing involves not only the development of cognitive capacities but also capacities for agency, prosocial relationships, and psychological wellness. Strong evidence within self-determination theory, reviewed herein, shows how teaching styles that support students’ basic needs for autonomy, relatedness, and competence foster these aspects of flourishing, enhancing the quality of students’ engagement, learning, and social relationships. Also highlighted are how students’ motivation and agency reciprocally influence teachers’ tendency to be need supportive, such that interventions on both sides of the teacher-student relationship can enhance learning climates. Nonetheless, this body of evidence concerns optimizing need supports within existing school environments, which too often remain mired in policies, practices, and omnipresent evaluations that are not designed for student flourishing, and which instead often harm both students’ and teachers’ well-being and motivation. The chapter’s conclusion includes a call to broaden the criteria by which schools are evaluated to include process as well as outcome targets. Creating the best schools we can imagine entails the assessment and cultivation of what really matters (i.e., process targets) to student flourishing in both their present and future lives.

    Percepción del estilo motivacional docente, motivación, autoeficacia y ansiedad ante exámenes en el curso de inglés en escolares de secundaria de un colegio privado de Lima Metropolitana
    (2026-02-27)
    La enseñanza del idioma inglés en el Perú se promueve activamente tanto en escuelas privadas como en escuelas públicas. Sin embargo, pocas investigaciones han estudiado la motivación de los escolares por aprender esta segunda lengua. Así, basados en la teoría de la autodeterminación, se estudió la percepción de los estilos motivacionales utilizados por el docente en el curso de Inglés (apoyo a la autonomía y control psicológico), la motivación de los estudiantes de ese curso (autónoma y controlada), así como la ansiedad ante exámenes y la autoeficacia académica en una muestra de 394 escolares de cuarto y quinto grado de secundaria de ambos sexos, de una escuela privada de Lima Metropolitana. Luego de los análisis correlacionales, el análisis de senderos comprobó el modelo hipotetizado, en el que la percepción del estilo motivacional de apoyo a la autonomía predijo positivamente la motivación autónoma por aprender inglés, la que, a su vez, predijo positivamente la autoeficacia académica y negativamente la ansiedad ante exámenes. Por su parte, el estilo de control psicológico del docente predijo positivamente la motivación controlada y la desmotivación. Finalmente, se discuten los resultados que muestran la importancia de los estilos motivacionales docentes y la motivación de los estudiantes, así como sus efectos adaptativos, pero también los desadaptativos.

    An Autonomy-Supportive Teaching Intervention Benefits Students in a Low-SES School Setting
    (Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)
    We conducted the first autonomy-supportive teaching intervention in a low SES school setting. We hypothesized that the teacher-focused intervention would increase students' psychological need satisfaction and classroom engagement—just as it has been demonstrated to do in previous interventions conducted in more advantaged schools. We randomly assigned 28 Peruvian teachers who taught 14 different subjects (e.g., math) in grades 7–11 in a very low SES school district to participate or not in the autonomy-supportive teaching workshop (i.e., experimental vs. control condition). Their 672 students (332 females, 339 males) self-reported their perceived teacher support, need satisfaction (autonomy, competence, relatedness), and classroom engagement at the beginning, middle, and end of a semester. A structural equation modeling analysis showed that the hypothesized model fit the data well, and that experimental condition predicted students' T2 need satisfaction, T2 need satisfaction predicted students' T3 classroom engagement, and T2 need satisfaction mediated the effect that experimental condition had on T3 classroom engagement. These findings show that an autonomy-supportive teaching intervention can work in a low-SES setting and not just in socioeconomically advantaged schools.
