Abstract

The proposal raised by this research is to identify the type of motivation for students possessing grade and changes that occur in their formation, therefore we focus first on a theoretical level, the mechanisms underlying motivation and in the evolution that occurs in it for four years. The sample consisted of 138 college students in early childhood education degree from the University of Granada, and the results show that as they move through the grade level increases both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
