This research investigated the motivation to learn and the learning style of students in the final years of elementary school as members of the Digital Generation in three types of school: state-owned, private and state military schools. The study had a qualitative and quantitative approach, of exploratory type, using the mixed method. Specifically, this study sought to investigate the motivation to learn and the learning style of students from the final years of elementary education as members of the Digital Generation inserted in different educational contexts. The participants of this research were 577 students of eighth and ninth grades of elementary school enrolled in two state schools of Federal District???s Education Secretary (SEEDF), a military state school and three private schools from Plano Piloto/Cruzeiro regions of Brasilia. Data collection instruments were three questionnaires and the analysis of the surveyed schools??? Political-Pedagogical Project. Data was submitted to documentary analysis and descriptive statistics. The results showed that the students of the Digital Generation mostly make use of cellphones (95.5%), computers (53.9%) and social networks (92%). The prevalent type of motivation to learn among students (59%) is the intrinsic motivation, characterized by personal satisfaction in doing a particular activity. In reference to the learning style, reflective (26.5%) and active styles (26.2%) stood out, which shows that students like to investigate a situation and try new experiences. As for male and female genders, the motivational profile showed no significant differences, but as to learning styles, the girls proved to be more active and the boys, more reflective. Regarding the documentary analysis of schools??? PPP, three categories showed up: learning process, technology and wider education. The learning process stood out as most frequent item in the analysis of the documents. Despite all the technology and scientific advances, schools still follow a traditional model of education, inadequate to teach the Digital Generation. One can conclude that changing the educational and technological paradigms is needed in order to respond to the educational needs of this generation.
