The atmosphere and environment in which the training takes place affects the motivation and learning of the individual with different qualities. Environmental-social factors are as the spirit of the universities. The aim of this study was to develop a model of the impact of environmental and social factors on the cycle of academic motivation- lifelong learning of police students. This research is of quantitative-qualitative type. The statistical population of this study, in the quantitative part, were all students of Amin police University in associate and bachelor degrees, which were 733 people, 219 of whom were selected by stratified sampling method, and in the qualitative part included professors and elites. A focus group of 10 of them was purposefully formed as a sample. Researcher-made tool of environmental-social factors affecting academic motivation and learning, Harter standard motivation questionnaire (1981) and lifelong learning questionnaire of Wetzel et al. (2010) were used in quantitative part and semi-structured interview form in qualitative part. Analysis of quantitative data showed that the variables of family relationship with university, reduction of extra programs positively and civilian relations negatively were the most important variables predicting academic motivation. Also, the variables of civil relations and feedback mechanisms, lack of stress and space were all positively the most important predictors of learning in students of Amin police University. According to the results of the focus group, while the academic motivation of police students is more influenced by military discipline, lifelong learning is influenced by the feedback mechanism

The goal of this study is to explain the academic motivation in the students based on perceived motivational orientation of teachers and parents by mediation of basic psychological needs. To this end, a sample including 404 high school students of Hamedan schools has been chosen based on multistage-cluster sampling method. Then the scales of academic motivation, perceived motivational orientation of parents, perceived motivational orientation of teachers, and the basic psychological needs were conducted. The Data were analyzed according to structural equation modeling (SEM) method. The final model showed a special pattern of relationship between the study variables that explain respectively 44/0, 37/0, 22/0 of variances of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation. The fitness indicators of the model showed the proper fit with the data (χ2=1/81, P=0/61, GFI=1/00, AGFI=0/99, CFI=1/00, NFI=0/99, RMSEA=0/01). The direct effect of parents’ motivational orientation on the academic motivation was not supported, but was confirmed indirectly by mediation of psychological needs on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and amotivation. Also, the direct and indirect effects of motivational orientation of teachers on three aspects of academic motivation were meaningful. The teachers’ motivational orientation was more explaining about the students’ academic motivation than parents’ motivational orientation that suggests the basic significance of the class atmosphere and teachers’ motivational orientation on the students’ academic motivation.
