Este estudo incorre sobre as relações entre a motivação para a Língua Portuguesa,
género, ano de escolaridade, clima de sala de aula, autoconceito e auto-estima.
A investigação foi desenvolvida com 290 alunos que frequentavam o 3º ciclo da
escolaridade obrigatória, sendo que 101 alunos frequentavam o 7º ano, 98 alunos
frequentavam o 8º ano e 91 alunos pertenciam ao 9º ano de escolaridade.
Neste estudo, foram utilizados três instrumentos: uma escala para avaliar a
motivação para a disciplina de Língua Portuguesa (“Eu e a Língua Portuguesa”, Mata et., al,
2008); uma segunda escala para avaliar a percepção de clima de sala de aula na disciplina de
Língua Portuguesa (“Na sala de aula de Língua Portuguesa”, Mata, Monteiro & Peixoto
2008) e finalmente a Escala de Autoconceito e Auto-estima (“Como é que eu sou?”
Peixoto & Almeida, 2003).
Foram verificadas relações entre a motivação e o género, e entre o ano de
escolaridade, em particular nas dimensões Valor/Importância e Esforço/Importância, as
raparigas registaram valores médios superiores aos dos rapazes. No que se refere à variável
ano de escolaridade, evidenciou-se a dimensão Valor/Importância, em que os alunos do 7º
ano de escolaridade apresentaram valores mais elevados.
No que concerne à percepção do clima de sala de aula em Língua Portuguesa, foi
verificado um valor médio estatisticamente significativo em particular na dimensão Suporte
Social do Professor.
No que se refere à relação entre motivação para a Língua Portuguesa e percepção
do clima de sala de aula, as correlações mais significativas foram registadas entre as
dimensões Interesse/ Prazer e Atitudes, entre Valor/Importância e Suporte Social do
Professor, e entre Esforço/Importância e Atitudes.
No que concerne à relação entre a motivação, Autoconceito e Auto-estima, foram
verificadas correlações estatisticamente significativas e positivas entre as dimensões
Autoconceito Académico, Auto-estima e Competência a Língua Portuguesa.
