modified on 2017-03-17, 08:36 The purpose of the
current study was to investigate the effect a hybrid TGfU/SE unit, in
comparison to direct instruction, on students’ perceptions of various aspects
of their motivation to engage in physical education (autonomous motivation,
basic psychological needs, enjoyment and intention to be physically active). A crossover design
was utilized, using the technique of counterbalancing. Participants were 55
students. The intervention was conducted over a total of 16 lessons. The hybrid
unit was designed according to the characteristics of SE by using seasons,
roles, persistent teams, etc. Learning tasks set by the teacher during
individual lessons, however, were designed according to the pedagogical
principles of TGfU. Results showed that
regardless of the order of intervention, the two groups showed significant
improvements in autonomy, competence and enjoyment when they were taught using
the hybrid model. These results
demonstrate that it is possible to design varied learning situations in which affiliation, leadership and trust are fostered, while
tasks are adapted to the characteristics of the students. All this can cause
greater autonomous motivation, and
consequently, perceived competence in the student, a positive image of
the sport to practice, and therefore greater enjoyment and to be physically
active.
