Secondary education students’ perception of teaching and its influence on motivation. European Journal of Education, 60(4). https://doi.org/10.1111/ejed.70355https://hdl.handle.net/10272/27600We studied learning environments using the instrument “Educational learning environments for students in Compulsory Secondary Education” (García-Rodríguez et al. 2023). A sample of 4683 students from 23 secondary schools in Andalusia (Spain). We analysed secondary school pupils' perceptions of learning environments and motivation, based on a quantitative, cross-sectional survey approach. Results indicate that students perceive the influence of teaching on their motivation. Variables such as sex of the pupils, type of school and type of educational measures used to cater for diversity are conditioning factors in their responses. Thus, girls, pupils in rural schools and in non-compensatory schools, have better perceptions of teaching and their motivation. A number of potentially important findings emerged from our research that can impact classroom practice.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/LearnerLearning environmentMotivationSecondary educationTeachingjournal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1111/ejed.70355open access58 Pedagogía
