Abstract:

Subjects wereenrolled in a four-year teacher education program (n=429) in the province ofQuebec (Canada). Our initial hypothesis was that the Web-based distance educationcourse –designed to promote self-determination, affiliation, and a sense ofcompetence– would positively impact the motivation of preservice teachers. Resultspresented are based on quantitative and qualitative data analysis. They demonstratethat a technologically rich learning environment can enhance motivation after only afew weeks
