The purpose of the study was to investigate the impact of a hybrid teaching games for understanding (TGfU) and sport education (SE) physical education unit on autonomy support, perceived motivational climate, enjoyment and perceived competence, in comparison to a unit delivered via a traditional direct instruction model. A crossover design was utilized. Participants were 55 students divided into two groups. One group experienced a hybrid TGfU/SE unit first, followed by a unit of direct instruction. A second group experienced the units in the opposite order. The hybrid unit was designed according to the characteristics of SE (e.g. formal competition, seasons, team identity, roles, etc.) and learning tasks were designed to integrate the pedagogical principles of TGfU. Dependent variables were measured using validated questionnaires. Results showed that regardless of the order of intervention, students in the two groups reported significantly higher mean scores in interest in athletes’ input, praise for autonomous behavior, perceived competence, and enjoyment when they were taught using the hybrid TGfU/SE unit. The results demonstrate some initial evidence that a teacher’s employment of a hybrid TGfU/SE unit can encourage students to assume responsibilities and make independent decisions, which leads to them reporting greater enjoyment and perceived competence when compared to physical education lessons delivered via a traditional direct instruction model.

The objective is to analyze the psychometric properties of Achievement Goals Questionnaire (AGQ) and Perceptions of Teachers' Emphasis on Goals Questionnaire (PTEGQ) in Spanish, determining the reliability and construct validity and external validity by understanding that achievement goals and perceived motivational climate in physical education may predict intrinsic motivation and satisfaction in those subjects who exercise at leisure time regularly. Psychometric tests confirm PTEGQ and AGQ have four dimensions that are hypothesized from the original one. It has proved the structural supporting hypothesis that it is based on the principle of compatibility. It has also been demonstrated construct validity and external validity as achievement goals and perceived motivational climate in physical education may predict intrinsic motivation and satisfaction in active subjects. Its reliability has been acceptable

Physical Education is an essential educational area to develop physical-healthy habits and motivational orientations, which are fundamental to guide the situation of future Physical Education teachers. These professionals will have a fundamental role in teaching different types of motivations, active lifestyles, and healthy habits in youths. For this reason, the objective of the study is to know the association between motivational climate, adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), and the practice of physical activity in future Physical Education teachers. A cross-sectional and nonexperimental study was carried out using a single measurement within a single group. The sample consisted of 775 university students from the cities of Andalusia (Spain). Motivational climate was evaluated through the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire (PMCSQ-2), levels of physical activity were evaluated through the adolescent version of the Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ-A), and level of adherence to the MD was assessed through Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED). On one hand, the healthy and self-improvement component promoted by physical activity favors an orientation focused on process and learning. Likewise, the competitive component is key to motivation focused on product and social recognition. In addition, future Physical Education teachers should pay special attention to the unequal recognition among members that physical activity can generate, in order to avoid personal disregard and social rejection. The ego climate is related to a high adherence to the MD. On the other hand, the future Physical Education teachers who manifest motivational processes based on fun and their own satisfaction have low levels of adherence to the MD.

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among perceived competence, perceived motivational climate, and participation behaviors of children with movement difficulties (MD) in physical education. Behaviors of 65 children with MD and 65 matched peers without MD from Grades 4-6 were observed and coded. A MANOVA revealed significant differences between the two groups in the proportions of adaptive and maladaptive behaviors. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated a tendency for participants with MD with higher self-reported perceptions of competence to spend proportionally more time engaged in adaptive behaviors and less time engaged in maladaptive behaviors. Significant interactions revealed that the effect of self-reported perceptions of a performance climate on participation was conditional upon perceived competence levels.

El objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar diferentes procesos psicosociales en Educación Física. Se examinan variables sociodeomográficas -tales como la edad, sexo y práctica de actividad física fuera del horario escolar- en relación a variables psicosociales como las actitudes (hacia el docente y el área), estrategias motivacionales (tarea/ego) y clima motivacional percibido (tarea/ego). A través de diferentes análisis se ponen a prueba varias hipótesis en relación a las mismas. La muestra se compone de 422 adolescentes de diferentes cursos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, agrupados en 21 grupos-clase. Los resultados muestran que el alumnado más joven y los chicos (vs. chicas) presentan actitudes más positivas y una mayor motivación hacia la Educación Física. Los chicos presentan unas estrategias y un clima motivacional orientado al ego, en mayor medida que las chicas. En relación a la práctica de actividad física fuera del horario escolar, los que sí la practican son los que muestran una actitud más positiva hacia el área y el docente, así como unas estrategias y clima motivacional orientadas a la tarea. Asimismo, en relación con las actitudes que el alumnado desarrolla hacia la Educación Física y el docente, los datos muestran la importancia relativa de las estrategias motivacionales y clima motivacional orientado hacia la tarea. Finalmente, se discuten los resultados en el marco de investigaciones previas y se proponen implicaciones prácticas para la docencia y la intervención psicosocial. Abstract. The objective of this research is to analyze different psychosocial processes in physical education. Socio-demographic variables - such as age, sex, and hours of practice of physical activity outside the school - in relation to psycho-social variables like attitudes (towards the teacher and area), motivational strategies (task/ego), and perceived motivational climate (task/ego) are examined. Several hypotheses regarding those variables are tested through different analyses. The sample is composed by 422 adolescents from secondary education, grouped into 21 class groups. Results show that the youngest students, as well as boys (vs. girls), present more positive attitudes and greater motivation toward physical education. Boys present strategies and motivational climate aimed at the ego to a greater extent than girls. In relation to the practice of physical activity outside of school, those engaged in it show a more positive attitude towards subject and teacher, as well as task-oriented strategies and motivational climate. Additionally, in relation to attitudes that students develop towards physical education and teaching, data show the relative importance of task-oriented motivational strategies and motivational climate. Finally, the results are discussed in the framework of previous research, and several practical implications for teaching and psychosocial intervention are proposed.
