This paper presents the results of the research of the characteristics of achievement motive of future physical education teachers. Starting from understanding of the importance of achievement motive for the successful accomplishment of professional goals and roles of teachers, the aim of our research is to examine the level of achievement motive, the characteristics of its structure and differences according to gender. The instrument MOP2002 (Francesko et al., 2002a) was applied, which presupposes the complex structure of this motive. The sample consisted of 373 students (263 male and 110 female) of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Belgrade. The results show that their achievement motive is characterized by the tendency towards high level of presence, and its structure is in the largest degree determined by the components accomplishing goals as a source of pleasure and perseverance in accomplishing goals, which is followed by orientation towards planning. The component competing with others is demonstrated in a moderate degree and it is least expressed. It was shown that female students have a larger degree of achievement motive when compared to male students, and accomplishing goals as a source of pleasure and perseverance in accomplishing goals mostly contribute to the difference in structure of achievement motive. It can be expected that the achievement motive, with the structure and degree of presence determined in our respondents, will contribute that they, as future teachers, become a good motivational model and the creators of a desirable motivational climate.

Introduction. The relevance of this research is due to the need to identify predictors of implementation of negative creative ideas in future teachers’ activity. The research purpose is to analyze the link between the level of antisocial creativity and values of two levels: as standardized ideals and individual priorities. Materials and methods. The study was conducted at the Moscow City Pedagogical University and in the State-Funded Educational Institution “Omsk State Pedagogical University” (N=109) using the following methods: a questionnaire “Behavioral Features of Antisocial Creativity” (by M. Ranko as adapted by N.V. Meshkova, S.N. Enikolopova, O.V. Mitina and others) and the Basic Individual Values Scale by Sh. Schwartz. Student’s t-test was conducted to compare data in each group and two polar (contrast) groups. Research results. It was revealed that with a similar set of values, both standardized ideals and individual priorities, among female students with a high level of antisocial creativity, at the level of standardized ideals, the value of “tradition” is the most insignificant value (2.56), among female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – “power” (3.1), the most significant value in both groups is the value of “independence” (5.41 and 5.29). At the level of values as individual priorities among students with a high level of antisocial creativity, the most significant value is “hedonism” (2.92), the most insignificant one is “tradition” (0.72); among students with a low level of antisocial creativity, the most significant value is “independence” (2.7), the most insignificant one is “power” (0.58). Female students of pedagogical specialties with a high level of antisocial creativity have significantly lower values related to social focus (the value of tradition – 2.56, while in the group of students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 3.56; temp = 2.2, p≤0.05; safety – 4.36, in the group of students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 5.05, temp = 2.3, p≤0.05), and the values of personal focus are significantly higher (“power” – 1.85, in the group of female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – 0.58; temp = 2.9, p≤0.05). At the level of values, both standardized ideals and individual priorities among female students with a high level of antisocial creativity, the most insignificant values are the values of social focus – “tradition”, among female students with a low level of antisocial creativity – an individual focus on “power”. Research prospects. The identification of personal predictors of antisocial creativity in future teachers, both female and male students, as well as environmental factors contributing to the manifestation and overcoming of antisocial creativity in the pedagogical activity, is of particular importance.

The present study examined the attitudes of Filipino middle school students toward physical education (PE) and the associations between PE attitude and various personal and external correlates of PE. In total, 659 middle school students, aged between 12 and 19 years (M = 14.55; SD = 1.14), participated in the study. The Physical Education Attitude Scale (PEAS) was used to measure affective, cognitive, and motivational/behavioral attitudes of adolescent students toward PE. Results showed that middle school students had moderate general attitudes toward PE. Female students had more favorable attitudes toward PE when their teacher was male than female. When the teacher was female, male students were more satisfied with the PE curriculum than female students. When the teacher was male, female students were more comfortable with the PE curriculum than male students. Finally, students' PE attitude did not decrease as they got older, regardless of student sex. The findings provide a different perspective for the field and underscore the importance of not only the PE curriculum but also the student–teacher relationship. To prevent the decline in students' positive attitude and encourage positive behaviors toward PE and activities, teachers should be very considerate about their interactions with students of the same sex; school administrators (e.g., principal and PE department head), meanwhile, should focus at providing PE teachers with special training courses to enhance both their teaching and communication capabilities.

Background and Study Aim. Physical activity (PA) is regarded as a critical component of a healthy lifestyle and disease prevention. Different constraints placed upon social interaction and public spaces due to COVID-19 could decrease PA and academic performance in physical education (PE) in student population. The purpose of the research was to assess overall and sport/fitness PA level and academic performance in PE in a sample of university students pre- to post-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods. Participants (n=209) – university students (19-20 years old). The overall period of the research is September-December 2020. All participants (male–n=106 and female–n=103) were divided into approximately equal groups: humanities students (male–MG-1, female–FG-1), medicine students (male–MG-2, female–FG-2), technical students (male–MG-3, female–FG-3). The main research tools: modified student self-reported questionnaire (on the base of IPAQ), academic grading (scores for self-completed PE tasks). In surveys, all participants self-rated overall and sport/fitness PA level pre- to post-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes. The participants had to complete 32 special PE tasks, during the research period. PE teachers rated participants by a special grading scale. Results. For the male and female students’ groups there were no significant differences of overall PA, sport/fitness PA level and academic performance in PE pre-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes. All participants significantly (p≤0.05) decreased overall PA, sport/fitness PA level and academic performance in PE post-cancellation. There was a significant (p≤0.05) large amount of overall PA level in MG-2 students and sport/fitness PA level in MG-1 students’ post-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes. For the male students there were no significant differences of grading in PE pre- to post-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes between participants groups. There was a significant (p≤0.05) large amount of overall PA level post-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes in FG-2 students. There was a significantly (p≤0.05) lower amount of sport/fitness PA level post-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes in FG-3 students. There was a significant drop in mean grading scores in PE post-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes in students. FG-2 participants had significantly (p≤0.05) higher grading scores in PE post-cancellation of face-to-face PE classes. Conclusions. The universities closure and cancellation of face-to-face PE classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic decreased overall PA, sport/fitness PA level and academic performance in PE in all participants. It is important to note that the proportional decrease in overall PA for the male students was actually large, then decrease in overall PA for the female students was less. The findings highlight the need for active interventions of PA promotion targeted at the student population in the context of self-isolation measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
