Resumen

Introduction: after the pandemic known as COVID19, education has been a cause of analysis and concern, both by the relevant authorities and also by the directors and teachers of educational institutions at different levels of education. In this sense, higher education has been deteriorated and students have been affected, not only economically but also psychologically, with students having low intrinsic motivation. Objective: to establish the association between the levels of intrinsic motivation and the stages of development that students in the first academic semester of a technological higher education institute have in the year 2023. Method: a quantitative approach was used, which was type non-experimental and descriptive. The studied population consisted of 114 students, selected through intentional non-probabilistic sampling according to the study programs offered by the institution. Results: the results indicated that there is no association between the levels of intrinsic motivation and the stages of development in the students (p>.05), since the population was made up of a heterogeneous group with respect to the ages of the registered students. in said academic semester. Conclusions: the level of development of intrinsic motivation is an element with a strong influence on all stages of development that students go through, since the desire for professional improvement predominates in them.
