Is there any scale related to the basic psychological needs (Autonomy, Competence, Relatedness) in learning environments? Or how the previous scales can be modified (i.e., basic needs in general, sport or physical education) for learning environments?
Filak and Sheldon (2003) used a version of the Basic Psychological Needs Scale modified to fit the education setting.
The website www.selfdeterminationtheory.org has many resources that you might find helpful, as well as a link to the pdf of this article.

Linda, Thank you for your response. I checked the web-site , but they are not in learning base. I will check the paper that you mention above.
best regards,
This packet includes a work version. We modified it for education by replacing the word "work" with "school". Be sure to cite appropriately.
Dear Jacqueline and Linda, thank you so much for your responses,
Your responses were very applicable for me, as well as professor Edward Deci noted for me that I can changes from General to Learning in Basic Needs in General Scales.
but the most problem is related to the length of scales, 21 items, that when we want to measure it with other scales, sometimes subjects do not interested in response them, !
There are other measures of psychological need satisfaction that include fewer items.
Autonomy: Perceived Self-Determination in Life Domains Scale (Blais & Vallerand, 1991)
Competence: Perceived Competence in Life Domains Scale (Losier, Vallerand, & Blais, 1993)
Relatedness: Need for Relatedness Scale (Richer & Vallerand, 1998)
Each subscale has 4 items (you can take the Academic subscales). These scales can be downloaded from Robert Vallerand's website at:
