From teaching to inspiration. How teacher performance transforms motivation and the educational experience in civil engineering education
Keywords:
Teacher performance, Student motivation, Intrinsic value, Academic self-efficacy, Test anxiety.Synopsis
The work addresses the influence of teacher performance on the motivation of Civil Engineering students at a private university in Piura, exploring how the quality of teaching impacts key dimensions such as intrinsic value, academic self-efficacy, and test anxiety. Through quantitative research with a correlational-causal design, the authors demonstrate that the teacher not only transmits knowledge but also becomes a determining factor in student engagement and emotional well-being. The book delves into the theoretical foundations of situated learning, self-regulation, and self-determination, offering a comprehensive view of the pedagogical relationship. It constitutes a practical guide for teachers and educational administrators interested in strengthening pedagogical practices that promote meaningful learning, academic confidence, and healthy stress management in demanding university contexts.
