Abstract Despite the evolution of the 3 × 2 achievement goal framework, research on three references of competence and its relationship with motivational variables in primary school students is non-existent. The objectives of this research were two: (a) to examine the structural validity of the Questionnaire of Three-dimensional Perceived Competence in Physical Education, and (b) to analyze the predictive patterns of the dimensions of competence on motivational regulations and self-efficacy in learning. A sample of 502 (242 girls) 4th and 5th primary students from 11 schools in northern Spain participated. The results of the CFA, as well as other models (ESEM, CFA-bifactor and ESEM-bifactor) supported the hypothetical model (three-dimensional). The parameters of the tested model were kept invariant through sex. The validity and internal consistency were satisfactory. Regression analysis showed predictive patterns of self-competence and task-competence more adaptive than those of other-competence. The results support the postulates of a three-dimensional achievement goal model and suggest the differentiation of three competence standards from primary education. Intrapersonal and absolute referents should be emphasized, and prioritize the development of self-competence.
