The aim of this study is to determine the academic motivation levels of physical education teacher candidates and to reveal the relationships between academic motivation and academic success. The study is follows a general scanning model in which the sample consists of 238 participants (147 male and 91 female). The Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) was used as a data collection tool in the study. In order to analyze the data, the researcher made use of the Pearson coefficient of correlation and multiple regression analysis as well as descriptive statistics. The study results suggest a high level of academic motivation among physical education teacher candidates. In addition, a significant relationship between academic motivation and academic success was found. It was also observed that academic motivation is a meaningful predictor of academic success in regression equations while there was found to be no meaningful predictor except the a-motivation dimension. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
