Resumo: | ABSTRACT: Motivation for teaching is key in the establishment and further development of high-quality higher education, as it affects teachers’ investment in quality learning experiences for their students, as well as institutional efficacy and well-being. This study aimed to validate a questionnaire, originally developed in Belgium, designed to evaluate three dimensions (self-efficacy, interest, and effort) of intrinsic motivation for teaching for a different national population. The sample consisted of 616 academics working in public higher education institutions in Portugal. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted and internal consistency of items analyzed. The results show that the original dimensionality of the construct is confirmed in the Portuguese teachers’ sample. Motivation for teaching in the Portuguese context is primarily explained by the following factors: personal efficacy, interest in the task, and effort placed on teaching responsibilities. A difference was found in that personal efficacy could not be divided in context and general personal efficacy. |

O estudo teve por objetivo a validação de um questionário, originalmente desenvolvido na Bélgica, destinado a avaliar três dimensões (autoeficácia, interesse e esforço) sobre motivação intrínseca para ensinar, para uma população nacional distinta. A amostra é composta por 616 acadêmicos que trabalham em instituições públicas de ensino superior em Portugal. Realizou-se a análise fatorial confirmatória e analisou-se a consistência interna dos itens para cada uma das dimensões avaliadas. Os resultados mostram que a dimensionalidade original do constructo é confirmada na amostra portuguesa, sendo a motivação para o ensino explicada principalmente pelos seguintes fatores: eficácia pessoal, interesse pelo trabalho e esforço nas responsabilidades de ensino. Não foram encontradas diferenças entre eficácia pessoal geral e eficácia pessoal contextual.RESUMEN: La motivación para la enseñanza es clave en el desarrollo de una educación superior de calidad, porque determina la inversión de los profesores en experiencias de aprendizaje de calidad para sus estudiantes, así como la eficacia institucional y el bienestar. El estudio tuvo como objetivo validar un cuestionario, desarrollado originalmente en Bélgica, destinado a evaluar tres dimensiones (autoeficacia, interés y esfuerzo) sobre la motivación intrínseca para la docencia, en una población nacional distinta. La muestra consistió en 616 académicos que trabajan en instituciones públicas de educación superior en Portugal. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio y se analizó la consistencia interna de los ítems por dimensión. La dimensionalidad original del constructo se confirma en la muestra portuguesa. La motivación para enseñar en este contexto se explica principalmente por los siguientes factores: eficacia personal, interés en la tarea y esfuerzo en la enseñanza. La diferencia que se encontró es que la eficacia personal no pudo dividirse en contextual y general.Universidade de São Paulo, FFCL (Ribeirão Preto)Repositório da Universidade dos AçoresAlmeida, Leandro S.Moreira, Maria AlfredoCaldeira, Suzana NunesSoares, Sara MedeirosHattum-Janssen, Natascha vanVisser-Wihnveen, Gerda2021-05-11T15:26:45Z2021-03-012021-03-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.3/5908engAlmeida, Leandro Silva, Moreira, Maria Alfredo, Caldeira, Suzana Nunes, Soares, Sara Medeiros, Hattum-Janssen, Natascha van, & Visser-Wijnveen, Gerda J..
