The targeted variables are: school absenteeism, school anxiety, intention of dropping out, academic performance, students’ involvement in education, measurement of physical skills, the availability of sports activities at their schools, and a qualitative evaluation of students (age, gender, size and weight). As expected, motivation and sense competence are positively and significantly correlated with a student’s performance. However, for students who have a low competence feeling, the relationship between motivation and sense of competence did not change significantly. Indeed, the relationship between the two is affected neither by age nor by sex and not even by academic performance.
