The motivation of students to attend higher education has been taking great prominence in scientific research, being the basis of several studies that aim to assess the behavior and choices of students in higher education. Based on the Self-Determination Theory, we intend to give students a voice to attend a Higher Professional Technical Course, with a view to understanding their perception of the educational experience and their choices and motivations when entering Higher Education. Data were obtained through the application of a questionnaire, Motivation to Learn Scale, and the results contributed to the understanding of motivational patterns of students of Higher Professional Technical Courses.
