Resumo


A motivação é um fator central na aprendizagem em cursos de Computação, e sua investigação requer instrumentos metodologicamente rigorosos. Este minicurso teórico-prático apresenta o Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), amplamente utilizado para avaliar motivação e estratégias de aprendizagem autorregulada. São abordados seus fundamentos teóricos, construtos, procedimentos de aplicação e análise de dados, com foco na formação de pesquisadores e docentes para a condução de estudos robustos em Educação em Computação.

Palavras-chave: Motivação, Aprendizagem autorregulada, MSLQ, Educação em Computação
