El objetivo del estudio consistió en analizar diferentes aspectos psicológicos (soporte autonomía, necesidades psicológicas básicas, autoestima y motivación) tras una intervención basada en diferentes estilos de enseñanza (impartición de las sesiones por parte del docente y de los alumnos mediante estilos de enseñanza participativos y trabajo cooperativo). Se llevó a cabo un diseño de investigación cuasi-experimental pre-post con un grupo control y otro experimental. En el grupo control se mantuvo la dinámica habitual de clase (con el docente de Educación Física) y en el experimental era el alumnado (quién con la supervisión del profesor) quien impartía las clases. Los resultados mostraron que en el grupo experimental se produjo un descenso del soporte autonomía del docente y una mejora en la relación con los demás, en la autoestima y en la regulación externa (que disminuyó). La mayor implicación del alumnado en su proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje hizo mejorar los diferentes aspectos psicológicos estudiados.AbstractThe main objective of this study was to analyze different psychological aspects (autonomy support, basic psychological needs, motivation and self-esteem) after an intervention process based on several teaching styles (lesson implementation by the teacher and the students with means of participatory teaching styles and cooperative work). A pre-post quasi-experimental research design was carried out with a control group and an experimental group. With the control group, the usual classroom dynamics (with the Physical Education teacher) were maintained, and with the experimental group the students (with the supervision of the teacher) taught the lessons. Results showed that the experimental group experienced a decline in autonomy support of the teacher and an improvement in the sense of relatedness, self-esteem, and external regulation (which declined). The greater involvement of the students in their teaching-learning process improved the different psychological aspects studied.

The purpose of this study was to implement a comprehensive teaching program based on the principles of Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model and questioning, and to assess its consequences for students’ satisfaction of basic psychological needs, motivation, perceptions of ability and intention to be physically active during Physical Education lessons in primary education. A quasi-experimental design was utilized. Participants were 111 students from two different groups of fifth and sixth graders, all enrolled in one primary school. Participants were divided into experimental and control group. Experimental group experienced a TGfU unit, according to small side games and the questioning. Control group experienced a small side games unit, without questioning. Within-group results showed that experimental group students reported significantly higher mean scores in all dependents variables of the study, in both genders. Results showed that control group only reported significantly higher mean scores in intention to be physically active variable, also in both genders. The results demonstrate the need to implement didactic units under comprehensive pedagogical approaches to improve motivation and the intention to develop healthy lifestyle habits in female and male students. More researches are needed to support this evidence.

AbstractThe aim of the study was to investigate the effects of an intervention to support the basic psychological needs on the satisfaction of these needs, intrinsic motivation, intention to be physically active and some enjoyment-related outcomes in Physical Education. The present study incorporated strategies presented by Standage and Ryan (2012) in a previous study. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with two groups (nexperimental = 30; ncontrol = 23) of 2nd year Secondary Education students aged between 13 and 15 (M = 13.35, SD = .62) by delivering 24 physical education classes. The teacher in the experimental group underwent prior and continual training. The results revealed that the students from the experimental group showed a significant increase in the perception of autonomy and competence. Furthermore, the experimental group showed a greater perception than the control group in the enjoyment related to learning and contents. These results provide information about the efficacy of an intervention programme based on the strategies presented by Standage and Ryan (2012) to foster satisfaction of basic psychological needs and facilitate support for basic psychological needs to promote the development of positive learning-related outcomes.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of a program based on the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) on the variables of responsibility, basic psychology needs, motivation, satisfaction with life and the intention to be physically active, as well as the differences of gender. The participants were 85 students (experimental group n = 35, 17 girls and control group n = 50, 28 girls). The students of the experimental group received the TPSR for 8 months within the physical education subject. The findings indicated an improvement in the experimental group in terms of personal responsibility and in the case of female students, in basic psychological needs and intrinsic motivation. In conclusion, the TPSR program can be integrated into the physical education curriculum in order to improve the personal responsibility of students and fulfill their motivation and satisfaction of basic psychological needs.

Supportive Intervention

In a recent manuscript published in International Journal of Sport Psychology, entitled “Effects of a brief one-day autonomy-supportive intervention on improving basic psychological needs, motivation, and behaviours of physical activity among middle-school students: A multidimensional approach”, we reported that a one-day eight-hour Autonomy-Supportive Intervention Program for Physical Education (ASIP-PE) was effective (Tilga et al., in press) in changing students’ perceptions of their physical education (PE) teachers’ cognitive and procedural autonomy support at a one-month follow-up, compared to control group students. After the intervention, a significant increase was also found in the experimental group students’ need satisfaction for autonomy and competence. Also, a significant decrease was found in experimental group students’ perceptions of their PE teachers’ intimidation and negative conditional regard, and in students’ need frustration for autonomy. This letter is to briefly convey additional data regarding the long-term benefits of ASIP-PE now that we have been able to conduct one-year follow-up analyses.

Grounded in self-determination theory and achievement goal theory, this quasi-experimental study evaluated the effectiveness of a teaching intervention programme to improve predisposition towards physical education based on developing a task-oriented motivational climate and supporting basic psychological needs. The final sample consisted of 35 secondary education students, aged 15–17 ( M age = 15.35, SD = 0.49), divided into two groups: control ( n = 15) and experimental ( n = 20). The intervention programme was applied in the experimental group to 12 acrosport unit lessons based on motivational strategies by means of TARGET areas (i.e. Task, authority, recognition, grouping, evaluation and time). Firstly, the experimental group obtained significantly higher values in perceived support of the basic psychological needs and in the perceived task-oriented motivational climate in the acrosport unit. Secondly, this intervention was effective in generating a significant increase in predisposition towards physical education in the experimental group. Noteworthy is the need to generate interventions in different content areas that may improve students’ predisposition towards physical education, which could contribute to them adopting a more active lifestyle.

Recognizing that students benefit when they receive autonomy-supportive teaching, the current study tested the parallel hypothesis that teachers themselves would benefit from giving autonomy support. Twenty-seven elementary, middle, and high school physical education teachers (20 males, 7 females) were randomly assigned either to participate in an autonomy-supportive intervention program (experimental group) or to teach their physical education course with their existing style (control group) within a three-wave longitudinal research design. Manipulation checks showed that the intervention was successful, as students perceived and raters scored teachers in the experimental group as displaying a more autonomy-supportive and less controlling motivating style. In the main analyses, ANCOVA-based repeated-measures analyses showed large and consistent benefits for teachers in the experimental group, including greater teaching motivation (psychological need satisfaction, autonomous motivation, and intrinsic goals), teaching skill (teaching efficacy), and teaching well-being (vitality, job satisfaction, and lesser emotional and physical exhaustion). These findings show that giving autonomy support benefits teachers in much the same way that receiving it benefits their students.

Low self-esteem is also associated with poverty, it is necessary to have an effort to accept the conditions of life first. One of the simple characteristics of the acceptance effort is gratitude. Gratitude is a strong predictor to increase hope and happiness in adolescents who experience poverty. This research was designed as experimental group in X secondary school. The group was consisted of 6 respondents without a control group. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental (one group pretest-posttest) using the Rosenberg Self-esteem scale (RSSE) with a reliability coefficient of 0.88. The implementation of the gratitude intervention was designed using an intervention module from the aspect of the Indonesian grateful scale (SBI) and it was neither just a list of words of gratitude nor gratefulness. This gratitude intervention is done by inviting participants to focus on positive aspects of life, exploring positive emotions by recalculating the blessings of life that have been received from God and others. To sum up, these findings provide new findings in the use of gratitude intervention that focuses on the divine aspect. The results of this study indicate that there are significant differences in respondent's self-esteem before and after administration of the gratitude intervention, with self-esteem (RSSE) (Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.042, p <0.05). This discussion focuses on the implications generated for Gratitude literature which are adapted to Indonesian cultural values. Harga diri yang rendah juga terkait dengan kemiskinan, maka diperlukan adanya usaha penerimaan kondisi kehidupannya terlebih dahulu. Salah satu karakteristik sederhana sebagai upaya penerimaan tersebut yakni dengan rasa bersyukur. Rasa bersyukur merupakan prediktor yang kuat untuk meningkatkan harapan dan kebahagiaan pada remaja yang mengalami kondisi miskin sekalipun. Penelitian ini diberikan kepada satu kelompok eksperimen yang terdiri dari 6 responden tanpa adanya kelompok kontrol di salah satu sekolah menengah pertama (SMP) terbuka X di Jakarta Utara. Desain penelitian ini merupakan quasi eksperimen (one group pretest-posttest) dengan menggunakan Rosenberg Self-esteem scale (RSSE) dengan hasil koefisien reliabilitas sebesar 0.88. Pelaksanaan pelatihan rasa bersyukur ini dirancang dengan menggunakan modul intervensi dari aspek skala bersyukur Indonesia (SBI) dan bukan hanya sekedar daftar ucapan rasa bersyukur atau terimakasih. Pelatihan kebersyukuran ini dilakukan dengan mengajak partisipan untuk fokus terhadap aspek positif dalam hidup, mengeksplorasi emosi positif dengan menghitung kembali berkah kehidupan yang telah diterima dari Tuhan dan orang lain. Singkatnya, temuan ini memberikan temuan baru dalam penggunaan intervensi rasa bersyukur yang berfokus pada aspek keTuhanan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada harga diri responden sebelum dan sesudah pemberian pelatihan kebersyukuran, dengan nilai self-esteem (RSSE) (Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.042, p< 0.05 Diskusi ini berfokus pada implikasi yang dihasilkan untuk literature bersyukur yang disesuaikan dengan nilai-nilai budaya Indonesia.

Several studies have demonstrated the positive effects of physical exercise programs on physical and mental health throughout life. It is necessary to know the factors that contribute to the well-being of older adults in order to achieve healthy aging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between well-being perception and the use of autonomy supportive coaching behaviours across a motivational aquatic resistance interval training program. Thirty-four women over 65 years of age from the province of Alicante, Spain, participated, and were randomly assigned to: motivational aquatic resistance interval training group (MART; age: 69.6 ± 5.01 years, height: 1.62 ± 7.88 m, weight: 75.3 ± 12.8 kg) and control group (CG; age: 67.7 ± 3.60 years, height: 1.54 ± 5.47 m, weight: 66.9 ± 10.2 kg). The MART program was conducted for 14 weeks, with three training sessions/week. The CG did not perform any physical activity during the study. Perception of autonomy support was assessed through the Autonomy-Supportive Coaching Questionnaire (ASCQ), Psychological needs by the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES), Intrinsic motivation to exercise was assessed through Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) and Perception of Physical Activity by the International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). In MART, compared to CG, significant differences were observed in BPNS, IMI and IPAQ questionnaires used, except in the ASCQ. The differences were significant in all three cases in BPNS (p < 0.05 in autonomy and competence and p = 0.001 in relationship with others), obtaining better scores after intervention than previously. As for the IMI scale, significant differences were also obtained in both subscales. The level of physical activity also improved significantly, with higher scores on the IPAQ after the intervention than before (p < 0.001). In conclusion, when practitioners perceive greater well-being, satisfaction of their basic psychological needs, greater self-selection, volition, and autonomy instead of pressure, demand and control, the result is better behaviour with greater psychological well-being, adherence and consequent health benefits.

Se utilizó un diseño casi-experimental con un grupo control y un grupo experimental. El grupo control estuvo compuesto por 38 estudiantes, donde 20 eran chicos y 18 eran chicas y el grupo experimental, compuesto por 42 estudiantes, donde 25 eran chicos y 17 eran chicas. Se les midió a través de tres instrumentos que se diseñaron de forma específica para este estudio que recogían medidas del saber, saber hacer, saber ser y saberes globales. Al grupo experimental se le aplicó el Método Acuático Comprensivo (MAC) durante ocho meses (20 clases).Resultados: Tras las distintas fases de análisis, construcción y validez, el sistema de registro permitió obtener un buen sistema de medida de los saberes. Después de la intervención, el grupo experimental presentó diferencias en todos los saberes, siempre siendo mejor el resultado en el post-test. El grupo control también presentó diferencias en los saberes, siendo peores los resultados en el post-test.Conclusiones: Los instrumentos diseñados para validar el saber, saber hacer, saber ser y saberes globales presentaron adecuadas medidas psicométricas. La metodología activa (Método Acuático Comprensivo), ha mostrado mejores efectos sobre el aprendizaje del saber, saber hacer, saber ser y saberes globales en las actividades acuáticas en estudiantes de 6-7 años en clases de educación física.Palabras clave: actividades acuáticas, método, educación, actividades acuáticas escolar, autonomía. Title: Effects of the Comprehensive Aquatic Method on 6 and 7-year-old studentsAbstractBackground: Over the last few decades, there has been a constant concern about how to make the contents of physical education through water activities more appealing to school students.Goals: The objective of this study was to verify the effect of a Comprehensive Aquatic Methodology with autonomy support on types of knowledge (know-how, knowing how to do it, knowing how to be and global knowledge) in a group of 6 and 7-year-old students in physical education classes in an aquatic environment.Method: Eighty 6 and 7-year-old students participated. A quasi-experimental design was used with a control group and an experimental group. The control group consisted of 38 students, 20 of which were boys and 18 were girls and the experimental group consisted of 42 students, 25 of which were boys and 17 were girls. They were measured through three specifically designed instruments that collected measurements of know-how, knowing how to do it, knowing how to be and global knowledge. The experimental group was taught through the Comprehensive Aquatic Method (MAC) for eight months (20 classes).Results: After the different phases of analysis, construction and validity, through the registration system it was possible to obtain a good system for measuring the types of knowledge. After the intervention, the experimental group presented differences in all types of knowledge, and results were always better in the post-test. The control group also presented differences in all types of knowledge, with worse results in the post-test.Conclusions: The instruments, designed to validate know-how, knowing how to do it, knowing how to be and global knowledge, presented adequate psychometric measures. The active methodology (Comprehensive Aquatic Method) has shown better effects on acquiring know-how, knowing how to do it, knowing how to behave and global knowledge in aquatic activities in 6 and 7-year-old students in physical education classes. Key words: aquatic activities, method, education, school water activities, autonomy.Titulo: Efeitos do Método Aquático Compreensivo em estudantes de 6 e 7 anosResumo Introdução: Ao longo das últimas décadas tem havido uma preocupação constante de procurar novas maneiras de seduzir os alunos a aprender os conteúdos relacionados à educação física através das atividades de aquáticas escolar.Objetivos: o objetivo do estudo foi verificar o efeito de uma Metodologia Aquática Compreensiva com apoio à autonomia sobre o conhecimento (saber, saber como fazer, saber como ser e o conhecimento global) em um grupo de alunos em aulas de educação física no meio aquático 6 e 7 anos de idade.Método: os participantes eram 80 alunos de 6 e 7 anos de idade.
