This study investigated the perception of 123 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade elementary school teachers about meeting the Basic Psychological Needs of students with different performances and periods of return to school during the pandemic. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study, with data collection in a virtual environment. Based on the student's performance, as reported by the teacher, two profiles were found. One is for students considered to be performing well enough, with more support in all dimensions, and the other is for students considered to be performing average or poorly, with more provision of Structure and moderate support for Involvement and Autonomy. The results suggest that student performance can influence the teacher's motivational style, which can have an impact on student development and well-being. It is clear that teachers need to be trained in Basic Psychological Needs.
