摘要：The main objective of this study was to determine whether there are significant differences in the levels of motivation among public and private students on courses in Accounting in Bahia. In this way, structured questionnaires were applied based on the Academic Motivation Scale (VALLERAND et al., 1992) in three regions of the state. The data were analyzed using SPSS ® 15, through descriptive analysis, factor analysis (FA) and mean differences (t test). Considering the three perspectives of motivation (extrinsic, intrinsic and demotivation), presented by the Self-Determination Theory, this study found no statistically significant differences between public and private students motivation. However, some differences were found when alone examines gender, stage in the course and the student's age. Women have, on average, more extrinsic motivation by introjection and intrinsic motivation to perform than men. The beginners students are more motivated by introjection and less discouraged than those who are nearing graduate. Regarding age, was detected only differences from the averages of extrinsic motivation by external control. Thus, it is believed that this study will contribute to the improvement of the teaching-learning process of Accounting courses.
