Abstract	Three conceptions of learning (rote, interpretative and constructive), and two aspects of motivation (level and value of motivation) were identified in 258 Spanish psychology undergraduates classified in three different academic levels (initial, intermediate and final course). Results about conceptions of learning showed final-course students are the most constructive and interpretative whereas students in the initial level have higher scores in rote conception. With respect to motivation, level and value are significantly related to one another, with a specific correlation between a high level of motivation and an intrinsic value whereas a low level was related to an extrinsic value. Additionally, intrinsic value in final-course students is significantly higher than in initial and intermediate-course students. Besides, we observed that students with both higher motivation and intrinsic value have a significantly higher score in interpretative and constructive conceptions. With respect to the academic level in psychology, initial-course students with intrinsic value or high motivation have a higher score in the constructive conception of learning. Intermediate students obtain a high score in the constructive conception if they are highly motivated. Final-course students did not show significant differences as regards the conception of learning dependent on motivation.Trois conceptions de l’apprentissage (par coeur, interprétatif et constructif), et deux aspects de la motivation (niveau et valeur) ont été identifiés sur 258 étudiants espagnols (psychologie) classifiés en trois niveaux (première, deuxième et fin de cours). Les résultats au sujet des conceptions ont montré que les de fin de cours sont les plus constructifs et interprétatifs, tandis que les de début ont de meilleurs résultats dans la conception par coeur. Le niveau et la valeur sont significative connexes, avec une corrélation spécifique entre un à niveau élevé et une valeur intrinsèque aussi bien qu’un niveau bas lié à une valeur extrinsèque. La valeur intrinsèque chez les étudiants de fin de cours est sensiblement plus haute qu’elle ne l’est chez les étudiants de début et intermédiaire. Les étudiants avec une motivation plus élevée et une valeur intrinsèque ont des points sensiblement plus hauts dans des conceptions interprétatives et constructives. Les de début avec valeur intrinsèque ou motivation élevée ont de plus hauts points dans la constructive. Les intermédiaires obtiennent de hauts points dans la constructive s’ils sont fortement motivés. Les de fin de cours ne montrent pas de différences significatives en ce qui concerne les conceptions basées sur la motivation.
