Resumo(s)
The concept of motivation has been placed at the heart of discussions related to academic
achievement and school withdrawal. Student and trainee self-concept is presented – throughout the
reviewed literature – as an effective response for schools as well as an aspect to consider when promoting
motivation and performance in students. Several studies argue that self-concept is the foundation of
motivated behaviour. The present study reviews the literature concerning the connections between student
motivation and self-concept, highlighting their importance in academic performance. Trainee motivation
is also characterized here with respect to self-concept through information collected from a sample
comprising 149 trainees from the Training Course for Petty Officers 1st Class by applying the
Assessment Scale for Trainee Self-concept in the Portuguese Navy (ASTSC-PN) (Frade & Veiga, 2016)
and the Learning Motivation Scale (LMS) (Frade, 2015; Frade & Veiga, 2014). The data were analysed
using SPSS software. The result analysis allowed the finding of connections between trainee motivation
and personal variables. It is intended that the gathered information contributes to support and validate the
theoretical constructs presented here.
