  El objetivo propuesto en el presente estudio fue determinar el tipo de motivación, desde la perspectiva de la autodeterminación, en estudiantes de enseñanza media, hacia la clase de Educación Física del Liceo Antonio Varas de la Barra en Arica, Chile, y su relación entre nivel de estudios y sexo. Participaron 717 estudiantes de 1ro a 4to medio. El instrumento utilizado fue la Escala del Locus Percibido de Causalidad en Educación Física (adaptación española). Entre los resultados se hallaron resultados medios-altos (5.09 y 5.22) para las dimensiones de Motivación Intrínseca y Regulación Identificada, respectivamente; mientras que las dimensiones Regulación Introyectada y Regulación Externa presentaron valores medios, 4.49 para la Regulación Introyectada y 4.72 para la Regulación Externa. Por su parte, la no motivación alcanzó un valor medio-bajo (3.70). Genéricamente, los varones aparentaron valores más alto que las damas, en todas las dimensiones, excepto en no motivación, sin embargo, estas diferencias no resultaron ser significativas estadísticamente. Se arribó a la conclusión de que la Motivación Intrínseca, la Regulación Identificada caracterizan a la población estudiada, la no motivación mostró resultados bajos, por lo que los alumnos de enseñanza media, sobre todo, los hombres de niveles superiores, se hallan motivados por la clase de Educación Física. Abstract. The objective proposed in the present study was to determine the type of motivation, from the perspective of self-determination, in high school students, towards the Physical Education class of the Antonio Varas de la Barra High School in Arica, Chile, and its relationship between level of studies and sex. 717 students from 1st to 4th grade participated. The instrument used was the Scale of the Perceived Locus of Causality in Physical Education (Spanish adaptation). Among the results, medium-high results (5.09 and 5.22) were found for the dimensions of Intrinsic Motivation and Identified Regulation, respectively; while the Introjected Regulation and External Regulation dimensions presented average values, 4.49 for Introjected Regulation and 4.72 for External Regulation. For its part, non-motivation reached a medium-low value (3.70). Generically, men appeared higher values ​​than women, in all dimensions, except non-motivation, however, these differences were not statistically significant.
