Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es predecir el éxito académico a partir del clima motivacional de la clase,mediado por la motivación del estudiantado universitario. Los participantes son 758 estudiantes universitarios de República Dominicana, con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 50 a˜nos (21.1% hombres y78.9% mujeres). Se administra una batería de instrumentos para medir las variables señaladas y se aplica un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales completo para predecir el éxito académico. De los resultados destaca el efecto directo del apoyo a la autonomía de los estudiantes sobre su satisfacción con el centro educativo, y el efecto de la satisfacción de las necesidades básicas tanto sobre la satisfacción con el centro como sobre el rendimiento académico. Percibir el apoyo del profesorado para el trabajo autónomo y sentir satisfechas las necesidades de autonomía, competencia y relación son los mejores predictores, de entre los considerados, del éxito académico en los estudiantes universitarios.
