Study I it had as specific objective to verify the occurrence of the variables: intrinsic goal orientation (MI), extrinsic goal orientation (ME), task value (VT), control of learning beliefs (CC), self-efficacy for learning and performance (AE) and test anxiety (AP) between students of three university courses, analyzing the occurrence of correlation between the motivacional scales that had evaluated these variable in beginners and students of the last year. Participated 185 beginners and students of the fourth year, being 62 of the Administration course, 55 of Physical Education and 68 of Computer Science. All the courses are given in the nocturnal period in one same private IES. For data collection it was used the questionnaire Academic Motivation and Attitudes, elaborated from the translation and adaptation of the instrument MSLQ. The results indicated the predominance of the variable VT that, however, presented reduction of the scores in the fourth year. In the analysis intra-scales, it was verified more significant correlations between the beginners than between the last-year-students; in the analysis between scales it was verified significant correlations only between the pairs MIxME and MExAE (sig.level=0,05). Study II had as objective to verify the occurrence of differences between groups of participants of the previous study. Of the original sample it was selected, at random, 20 questionnaires of the first year and 20 of the fourth year of each course. The analysis of the variance indicated significant differences between the students of the fourth year of Computer Science and the others in scale VT and between the students of the same course and of Physical Education in scale AE (sig.level=0,05). The general results are discussed on basis of social cognitives models of motivation and in sociocultural variables of the sample, having suggested the necessity of new studies on the searched motivacional variables and on the used instrument. Also strategies are indicated to optimize these variables. / A presente tese teve como objetivo geral fazer uma an?lise de vari?veis motivacionais que influenciam a aprendizagem de universit?rios, constando de dois estudos. O Estudo I teve como objetivos espec?ficos verificar a ocorr?ncia das vari?veis: orienta??o para a meta intr?nseca (MI), orienta??o para a meta extr?nseca (ME), valor da tarefa (VT), cren?as sobre controle da aprendizagem (CC), auto-efic?cia para aprendizagem e desempenho (AE) e ansiedade frente a provas (AP) entre estudantes de tr?s cursos superiores, analisando a ocorr?ncia de correla??o entre as escalas motivacionais que avaliaram essas vari?veis em ingressantes e concluintes. Participaram 185 universit?rios de primeiro e quarto ano, sendo 62 do curso de Administra??o, 55 de Educa??o F?sica e 68 de Ci?ncia da Computa??o. Todos os cursos s?o ministrados no per?odo noturno em uma mesma IES privada. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizado o question?rio Motiva??o e Atitudes Acad?micas, elaborado a partir da tradu??o e adapta??o do instrumento MSLQ. Os resultados indicaram predomin?ncia da vari?vel VT que, entretanto, apresentou diminui??o dos escores no 4? ano. Na an?lise intra-escalas verificaram-se mais correla??es significantes entre os ingressantes do que entre os concluintes; na an?lise entre escalas verificaram-se correla??es significantes apenas entre os pares MIxME e MExAE (n.sig.=0,05). O Estudo II teve como objetivo verificar a ocorr?ncia de diferen?as entre grupos de participantes do estudo anterior. Da amostra original foram selecionados, aleatoriamente, 20 question?rios de primeiro e 20 de quarto ano de cada curso. A an?lise de vari?ncia indicou diferen?as significantes entre os concluintes de Ci?ncia da Computa??o e os demais na escala VT e entre os concluintes do mesmo curso e os de Educa??o F?sica na escala AE (n.sig.=0,05). Os resultados gerais s?o discutidos com base em modelos cognitivistas sociais da motiva??o e em vari?veis socioculturais da amostra, sugerindo a necessidade de novos estudos sobre as vari?veis motivacionais pesquisadas e sobre o instrumento utilizado. Tamb?m s?o indicadas estrat?gias para otimizar cada uma destas vari?veis.
