The study had a qualitative and quantitative approach, of exploratory type, using the mixed method. Specifically, this study sought to investigate the motivation to learn and the learning style of students from the final years of elementary education as members of the Digital Generation inserted in different educational contexts. The participants of this research were 577 students of eighth and ninth grades of elementary school enrolled in two state schools of Federal District???s Education Secretary (SEEDF), a military state school and three private schools from Plano Piloto/Cruzeiro regions of Brasilia. Data collection instruments were three questionnaires and the analysis of the surveyed schools??? Political-Pedagogical Project. Data was submitted to documentary analysis and descriptive statistics. The results showed that the students of the Digital Generation mostly make use of cellphones (95.5%), computers (53.9%) and social networks (92%). The prevalent type of motivation to learn among students (59%) is the intrinsic motivation, characterized by personal satisfaction in doing a particular activity. In reference to the learning style, reflective (26.5%) and active styles (26.2%) stood out, which shows that students like to investigate a situation and try new experiences. As for male and female genders, the motivational profile showed no significant differences, but as to learning styles, the girls proved to be more active and the boys, more reflective. Regarding the documentary analysis of schools??? PPP, three categories showed up: learning process, technology and wider education. The learning process stood out as most frequent item in the analysis of the documents. Despite all the technology and scientific advances, schools still follow a traditional model of education, inadequate to teach the Digital Generation. One can conclude that changing the educational and technological paradigms is needed in order to respond to the educational needs of this generation. / Esta pesquisa investigou a motiva????o para aprender e o estilo de aprendizagem de estudantes dos anos finais do ensino fundamental enquanto membros da Gera????o Digital de tr??s tipos de escola: p??blica, p??blica militar e particular. O estudo teve abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, de car??ter explorat??rio, utilizando o m??todo misto. Especificamente, este estudo buscou investigar a motiva????o para aprender e o estilo de aprendizagem de estudantes dos anos finais do ensino fundamental enquanto membros da Gera????o Digital inseridos em diferentes contextos educacionais. Participaram da pesquisa 577 estudantes dos oitavos e nonos anos do Ensino Fundamental, matriculados em duas escolas p??blicas da Secretaria de Estado de Educa????o do Distrito Federal (SEEDF), uma escola p??blica estadual militar sem v??nculo com a SEEDF e tr??s escolas particulares da Regi??o Administrativa do Plano Piloto/Cruzeiro. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram tr??s question??rios e a an??lise do projeto pol??tico-pedag??gico das escolas pesquisadas. Os dados foram submetidos ?? an??lise documental e ?? estat??stica descritiva. Os resultados apontaram que os estudantes da Gera????o Digital, na sua maioria, fazem uso do celular (95,5%), do computador (53,9%) e das redes sociais (92%). O tipo de motiva????o para aprender predominante entre os estudantes (59%) ?? a motiva????o intr??nseca, caracterizada pela satisfa????o pessoal em realizar uma determinada atividade. Quanto ao estilo de aprendizagem, destacaram-se os estilos reflexivo (26,5%) e ativo (26,2%), os quais demonstram que os estudantes gostam de investigar uma situa????o e tamb??m de vivenciar novas experi??ncias. Quanto ao sexo masculino e feminino, o perfil motivacional n??o revelou diferen??as significativas, mas quanto aos estilos de aprendizagem, as meninas revelaram-se mais ativas e os meninos mais reflexivos. Em rela????o ?? an??lise documental dos projetos pol??tico-pedag??gicos (PPP) das escolas, evidenciaram-se tr??s categorias: processo de aprendizagem, tecnologia e forma????o integral. O processo de aprendizagem destacou-se como item de maior frequ??ncia na an??lise dos documentos. Apesar de todos os avan??os tecnol??gicos e cient??ficos, as escolas ainda seguem um modelo tradicional de ensino, inadequado ao ensino da Gera????o Digital. Os resultados obtidos revelaram ser necess??ria a mudan??a do paradigma educacional e do paradigma tecnol??gico a fim de atenderem-se as necessidades educativas dessa gera????o.
