LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.School physical education is potentially able to help school children develop positive self-esteem because it provides the contexts for fulfilling the innate need for effectance, optimal challenges, and self-determination. In this paper, self-esteem was conceptualized to be multidimensional and hierarchical with its development following a bottom-up cognitive model. It was suggested that self-esteem development is self-directed in that, firstly, actual physical competence does not directly affect self-esteem but is subjectively interpreted and received to become physical self-perception that in turn affects self-esteem, and secondly, different individuals may adopt different conceptions of success and thus hold different standards for self-evaluation. Hence, the relevance of achievement orientations to selfesteem development through the physical was also discussed.學校體育提供機會,讓學童提升效能、挑戰自我、發揮自決、從而滿足其本能需要,具提升自尊之潛力。本文指出自尊屬多度向、多層級、具自我調控之心理結構。通過個人主觀的理解和認受,一切身體能力先要轉化成身體自我觀,然後才影響自尊。本文亦指出,不同人對所謂成功有不同理解,並因而採用不同標準評價自己;同時,目標取向與提升自尊的關係亦為本文之討論重點。

Autonomy is associated with intellectual self-preservation and self-determination. Shame, on the contrary, bears a loss of approval, self-esteem and control. Being afflicted with shame, we suffer from social dependencies that by no means have been freely chosen. Moreover, undergoing various experiences of shame, our power of reflection turns out to be severly limited owing to emotional embarrassment. In both ways, shame seems to be bound to heteronomy. This situation strongly calls for conceptual clarification. For this purpose, we introduce a threestage model of self-determination which comprises i) autonomy as capability of decision-making relating to given sets of choices, ii) self-commitment in terms of setting and harmonizing goals, and iii) self-realization in compliance with some range of persistently approved goals. Accordingly, the presuppositions and distinctive marks of shame-experiences are made explicit. Within this framework, we explore the intricate relation between autonomy and shame by focusing on two questions: on what conditions could conventional behavior be considered as self-determined? How should one characterize the varying roles of actors that are involved in typical cases of shame-experiences? In this connection, we advance the thesis that the social dynamics of shame turns into ambiguous positions relating to motivation, intentional content,and actors’ roles.

Projecting the educational and didactical work presumes using certain strict techniques, supported by methods and means of intellectual work. The high demand of education, permanent education, obliges students to revalue their principles, objectives, structure, methodology and work style, to adequately respond to the ever increasing requirements that society brings forward. The main purpose of this paper is identifying the influence of intellectual work techniques on the process of training by scientifically understanding the domain of physical education and sport, the transfer ability of skills in terms of situations and modalities of work within the physical education and sports domain. In this context, the positive results of evaluating distributive attention and psychological fatigue through the Prague Test, the Toulouse Pierron Test and the test for determining self-esteem, all have proven that the methods and techniques of intellectual work used here have been efficient confirming the hypothesis.

Purpose: This research was undertaken to examine predictors of physical education (PE) teachers’ attitudes toward teaching students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in general PE. Method: In-service PE teachers (n = 151) in Hong Kong completed a multi-section survey measuring demographic variables, attitudes, self-esteem, and intrapersonal and interpersonal mindfulness. Survey data were mainly analyzed through multiple regression analyses. Results: The results showed that special education-related coursework and self-esteem were positive predictors of attitudes. However, they were no longer a significant predictor after mindfulness was entered into the regression model while both types of mindfulness positively predicted attitudes. Discussion/Conclusion: Self-esteem as well as intrapersonal and interpersonal mindfulness play an important role in predicting PE teachers’ attitudes toward teaching students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Related training components may be included in the professional development programs for improving PE teachers’ attitudes.
