Resumen

Este estudio analiza el papel de los métodos empleados por el profesorado para manejar la disrupción y el clima motivacional de clase en la disminución percibida de las conductas disruptiva, la motivación hacia el aprendizaje y la satisfacción con el profesor, para lo que se desarrollan tres cuestionarios. Un total de 827 alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria de Madrid, 50%o varones y 50% mujeres de 12 a 18 años de edad (M: 14,33, DT: 1,4), contestaron cinco cuestionarios que evaluaban el clima motivacional de clase, las conductas disruptivas, las formas de actuar ante la disrupción, la atribución de la disminución o no de las conductas disruptivas al trabajo del profesor, y la satisfacción con este. Los análisis realizados —factoriales, de fiabilidad y de regresión—, mostraron la adecuada calidad psicométrica de las pruebas, y que el clima motivacional orientado hacia el aprendizaje y el empleo por parte del profesor de estrategias constructivas de afrontamiento de la disrupción se asocia positivamente a la percepción de la disminución de esta y a la satisfacción con el trabajo del profesor. Se discuten las implicaciones teóricas y aplicadas de los resultados.

Abstract

This study analyses the relationship between teachers' ways of managing disruptive behaviour and classroom motivational climate in the perceived reduction of disruptive behaviours, motivation towards learning, and satisfaction with the teacher. For this purpose, three questionnaires were developed. A total of 827 secondary school students from Madrid, 50% males and 50% females, 12 to 18 years old (M: 14.33, SD: 1.4), answered five questionnaires assessing: classroom motivational climate, disruptive behaviour, teachers' ways of managing disruption, attribution of the reduction or not of disruptive behaviour to teacher's work, and satisfaction with their work. Factor, reliability, and regression analyses carried out showed, first, the adequate psychometric quality of the questionnaires; and second, that classroom motivational climate oriented to learning and teachers' use of constructive strategies for managing disruption are positively associated with a decrease of disruption and with satisfaction with teacher's work. Theoretical and applied implications of the results are discussed.
