  In Poster Session: 21.063-2 - Social and Cognitive Influences on Academic Performance

Abstract

Most of the current studies on autonomy support are simply focused on the influence of teacher behavior on the students’ academic results, and there are few studies have explored the influence of the autonomous-supportive teaching environment on the students, teachers and even the school entirely. Accordingly, this study takes the teachers and students as the research object, and uses MSEM to explore the complex mechanism of the autonomy-supportive teaching environment on students' academic performance. The results show that the satisfying of both teachers’ and students’ basic autonomy needs can enhance teachers’ and students’ motivation, and ultimately directly or indirectly influence the students' academic performance. School administrators should give teachers sufficient teaching autonomy, encourage teachers to give students more autonomy support.
