摘要:The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of students’ perceived value of schooling, self-determined motivation and academic performance with evaluation of teachers, on the basis of self-determination theory. The subjects were 365 Iranian college students. Questionnaires were used to assess perceived basic psychological needs satisfaction, perceived value of schooling, academic self-regulation, academic performance and evaluation of teacher. The results of regression analysis showed that the perceived basic psychological needs satisfaction and value of schooling and more self-determined forms of motivation in the classrooms predict more positive evaluation of teachers. The results also showed that academic performance couldn’t predict students’ evaluation of their teachers. The findings highlight the importance of value of schooling in fostering more self determined forms of motivation at university.
