Direct linkCohen, Rinat; Katz, Idit; Aelterman, Nathalie; Vansteenkiste, Maarten – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2023
Students' adaptive motivation to study tends to decrease over time. However, the reasons for this decline are not fully understood. Drawing on self-determination theory (SDT), we investigated whether changes in teachers' motivating style and students' associated need-based experiences could explain the motivational decline documented in the…

Vermote, Branko; Vansteenkiste, Maarten; Aelterman, Nathalie; van der Kaap-Deeder, Jolene; Beyers, Wim – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
Grounded in self-determination theory, this study examined the explanatory role of teachers' need-based experiences in the association between teachers' perceived social pressure (i.e., from the principal, colleagues, and students) and their personal adjustment and motivating teaching style. In total, 482 secondary school teachers (M age = 39.9…

Aelterman, Nathalie; Vansteenkiste, Maarten; Haerens, Leen; Soenens, Bart; Fontaine, Johnny R. J.; Reeve, Johnmarshall – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2019
Guided by Self-Determination Theory, we offer an integrative and fine-grained analysis of teachers' classroom motivating style (i.e., autonomy support, structure, control, and chaos) to resolve existing controversies in the literature, such as how these dimensions relate to each other and to educationally important student and teacher outcomes.…

Baten, Elke; Vansteenkiste, Maarten; De Muynck, Gert-Jan; De Poortere, Eline; Desoete, Annemie – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Although teachers are recommended to create a stimulating learning environment in which children can use, perfect, and extend their skills, this is far from easy. In many cases, identifying the optimal difficulty level of learning tasks involves a trial-and-error process during which teachers offer children too difficult tasks, with negative…

De Meyer, Jotie; Tallir, Isabel B.; Soenens, Bart; Vansteenkiste, Maarten; Aelterman, Nathalie; Van den Berghe, Lynn; Speleers, Lise; Haerens, Leen – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2014
Self-determination theory (SDT) has served as a theoretical framework for considerable research on teaching behavior and student motivation. The majority of studies have focused on need-supportive teaching behavior at the expense of need-thwarting teaching behavior (i.e., the "dark side" of teaching). The goal of the present study was to…

Sierens, Eline; Vansteenkiste, Maarten; Goossens, Luc; Soenens, Bart; Dochy, Filip – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2009
Background: Self-determination theory defines two important dimensions of teaching style: autonomy support and structure. Aims: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the synergistic relationship of perceived teacher autonomy support and the provision of structure in the prediction of self-regulated learning. Sample and method:…

Soenens, Bart; Vansteenkiste, Maarten – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 2005
Due to conceptualizations of autonomy as detachment and independence, research on the parenting-autonomy relationship in adolescence has yielded inconsistent results. In the present study, self-determination is proposed as an alternative way of tapping into the construct of autonomy. An integrated model of the relationships between perceived…
