Resumo: Many studies have evidenced the importance of motivation in the educational area. There are few works in the literature relating motivation with teacher education. Given the importance of this theme and the lack of works in the literature, this study presents the objective to collect the motivational profile of 2019 incoming preservice chemistry teachers at Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of São Paulo (IFSP). The theoretical framework used in this work was the Self-determination Theory, developed by Ryan and Deci (1985). These authors expand the comprehension about extrinsic motivation presenting a motivation continuum, in which an individual may transit through different kinds of motivation within this continuum, as far as it satisfies the basic psychological needs: competence, autonomy and belonging. This research used the questionnaire proposed by Guimarães and Bzuneck (2008) as data collection tool. The application was performed presentially by the researcher during class time and had the participation of 176 preservice chemistry teachers distributed in nine campi. The data were submitted to statistical analysis, such as mean, variance, reliability test and correlation analysis and were compared to works available in literature. The results evidenced a self-determined profile in the participants, prevailing higher means for extrinsic motivation through integrated regulation and intrinsic motivation. The execution of studies such as this one is of great importance for the area because, from them, it is possible to make plans and strategies aiming at the students’ permanence and success.
