Motivational climate is inherently a group-level construct so that longitudinal, multilevel designs are needed to evaluate its effects on subsequent outcomes. Based on a large sample of physical education classes (2,786 students, 200 classes, 67 teachers), we evaluated the effects of classroom motivational climate (task-involving and ego-involving) and individual goal orientations (task and ego) on individual students’ outcomes (intrinsic motivation, attitudes, physical self-concept, and exercise intentions) collected early (T1) and late (T2) in the school year. Using a multilevel approach, we found significant class-average differences in motivational climate at T1 that had positive effects on T2 outcomes after controlling T1 outcomes. Although there was no support for a “compatibility hypothesis” (e.g., that task oriented students were more benefited by task-involving motivation climates), the stability of goal orientations was undermined by incompatible climates.

AbstractOne of the variables that influence motor learning is the learner’s previous experience, which may provide perceptual and motor elements to be transferred to a novel motor skill. For swimming skills, several motor experiences may prove effective. Purpose. The aim was to analyse the influence of previous experience in playing in water, swimming lessons, and music or dance lessons on learning the breaststroke kick. Methods. The study involved 39 Physical Education students possessing basic swimming skills, but not the breaststroke, who performed 400 acquisition trials followed by 50 retention and 50 transfer trials, during which stroke index as well as rhythmic and spatial configuration indices were mapped, and answered a yes/no questionnaire regarding previous experience. Data were analysed by ANOVA (p = 0.05) and the effect size (Cohen’s d ≥0.8 indicating large effect size). Results. The whole sample improved their stroke index and spatial configuration index, but not their rhythmic configuration index. Although differences between groups were not significant, two types of experience showed large practical effects on learning: childhood water playing experience only showed major practically relevant positive effects, and no experience in any of the three fields hampered the learning process. Conclusions. The results point towards diverse impact of previous experience regarding rhythmic activities, swimming lessons, and especially with playing in water during childhood, on learning the breaststroke kick.

The adoption of new normative documents in the field of education in Bulgaria determines the inclusion of children with special educational needs in general education schools. The significant and integral role which physical education plays in the educational process poses the question of the inclusion of children with impairments in motor activity training as well. Teachers implementing it contribute greatly to its positive effects. The main features of physical education include active motor activity and the related physical workload. In order for them to be adapted successfully to the specific needs of children with different disabilities, more specialized training is required. The analysis of the curricula of the faculties of education in Bulgaria shows that future pre-school and primary school teachers who will be responsible for the physical education of children in kindergartens and primary schools respectively do not receive appropriate training in adaptive physical education. The aim of this article is to present a concept for introducing a training program on "Motor Activity Training and Inclusive Physical Education", intended for students of the specialty Preschool and Primary School Education at the Faculty of Education, Thrakia University, Bulgaria

En el presente estudio de la población adolescente de la Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias se evidencia que son minoría los adolescentes que cumplen las pautas o recomendaciones de actividad física, mostrando bajos niveles de práctica de actividad física de intensidad moderada y vigorosa, niveles que se muestran alejados de las recomendaciones establecidas para este grupo de edad e insuficientes para alcanzar los efectos positivos que se derivan de la práctica de actividad física, siendo estos bajos niveles más acentuados en las chicas que en los chicos. Estas evidencias justifican la necesidad de cambiar esta tendencia y promover cambios sustanciales en los hábitos de práctica de actividad física de nuestros niños y adolescentes. Para procurar este cambio, se muestran como muy adecuado, la puesta en práctica de programas de intervención extracurriculares, junto con el necesario incremento del horario lectivo que en la actualidad se destina a la materia de educación física en el vigente currículo escolar de la Enseñanza Básica. Palabra clave: actividad física, niveles de actividad física, adolescentes, recomendaciones de práctica de actividad física, análisis del patrón de actividad física, sedentarismo.Abstract: The present study about adolescent from the Canary Islands, evidence that a minority of adolescents follow the guidelines or recommendations for physical activity, showing low level of physical activity of moderate intensity and vigorous, levels which are shown away from the established recommendations for this group of age, and insufficient to attain the positive effects arising from the practice of physical activity, and these low levels are more accentuated in girls than in boys. These evidences, justify, the need to change this trend and promote substantial changes in practice habits of physical activity of children and adolescents. To ensure this change, are shown as very adequate, the implementation of physical education programs out of the school schedule, along with the necessary increase in teaching hours which now is assigned to physical education in the current curriculum of Basic Education.Key words: physical activity, physical activity level, adolescents, physical activity recommendations, physical activity pattern analysis, sedentary lifestyle.

The research aimed at designing exercises using different resistance in soccer players under 19 years old as well as identifying the effect of these resistances on some physical abilities development in soccer players under 19 years old. The researchers used the experimental method on (24) players. Field procedures included physical abilities tests followed by the main experiment (varied resistance style) including plyometrics, rubber ropes, and sand floor exercises then ended with posttests. The researchers collected the data and treated it using SPSS to conclude significant differences between pre and posttests in explosive speed and strength while there are no differences in strength – speed. The researchers concluded that these exercises have positive effects on the subjects under study. Finally, they recommended using these exercises on soccer players of all age groups as well as making similar studies on other physical abilities, basic skills, physiological variables, and other sports.

En la actualidad la innovación parece querer inundarlo todo, pero que algo sea nuevo no implica que tenga efectos positivos en el aula. Este artículo surge de la necesidad de pararse a pensar y reflexionar sobre las tendencias actuales de Educación Física que no parece estar permitiéndole avanzar e, incluso, ir en contra de sus verdaderos fines y esencia. A partir de las evidencias científicas que los sustentan, se han planteado cinco aspectos de práctica habitual en nuestra área sobre los que reflexionar: (1) La gamificación mal entendida; (2) la utilización indiscriminada de las APPs: (3) el aprendizaje cooperativo mal enfocado; (4) la verdadera motivación; (5) las evidencias en el aprendizaje del alumnado. Ante esto, se dan diferentes soluciones prácticas basadas en el uso de la evaluación formativa y compartida y el uso transversal de lo corporal. Finalmente se plantean consideraciones a modo de conclusión, no con la intención de ofrecer recetas, sino reflexiones con base científica con el fin de contribuir a una mejor Educación Física. Abstract. Currently, innovation seems to be spreading uncontrollably everywhere; however, just because something is new it does not necessarily imply that it also has positive effects in the classroom. This article arises from the need to stop, think, and reflect on current trends in Physical Education, which at times seem to be more an obstacle to its progress to the extent that they may even work against its true purpose and essence. Based on scientific evidence, five common practice aspects to reflect upon in our field have been proposed: (1) Misunderstood gamification; (2) indiscriminate use of APPs: (3) poorly focused cooperative learning; (4) true motivation; and (5) evidences of students’ learnings. Different practical solutions based on the use of formative and shared evaluation and the cross-sectional use of the body were proposed. Finally, considerations were presented as a conclusion; however, they are intended to offer any formulae, but rather scientifically supported reflections aiming at contributing to the enhancement of Physical Education.

Teachers’ autonomy support (AS) in physical education (PE) has positive effects on students’ affective and behavioral outcomes in PE. Even though the existence of three different dimensions of AS, namely cognitive, organizational and procedural AS has been suggested in educational settings, there is a lack of multidimensional instruments for the assessment of autonomy-supportive teaching in PE. The aim of this study was to validate the German Multi-Dimensional Perceived Autonomy Support Scale for Physical Education (MD-PASS-PE). The sample comprised 1030 students of grades 6 through 10. Internal consistency was used to test the reliability of the assumed subscales. Factorial validity and measurement invariance across gender and age were examined by confirmatory factor analyses. Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate criterion validity. The subscales exhibited acceptable to good internal consistency. The assumed three-factor structure was confirmed within a bi-factor model including a general factor and three specific group factors. Results strongly supported measurement invariance across gender while tentatively suggesting measurement invariance across age. Criterion validity was supported as the MD-PASS-PE explained 15% and 14% of the variance in the constructs of self-efficacy and intrinsic value, respectively. The German MD-PASS-PE provides PE teachers with deeper insights into their autonomy-supportive teaching behavior, helping them to support their students’ autonomy in a holistic way.

To better investigate why positive behaviour and misbehaviour occur, the study aimed to examine the relationships among teachers’ autonomy support and students’ advantageous comparison, non-responsibility, positive behaviour, and misbehaviour. We also examined the mediating roles of advantageous comparison and non-responsibility in these relations. The participants were 478 students with an average age of 14.6 ± 1.49 years, and the students included 259 males and 219 females. Structural equation modelling indicated that teachers’ autonomy support had direct negative effects on advantageous comparison and non-responsibility. Furthermore, advantageous comparison and non-responsibility had direct positive effects on students’ misbehaviour and had direct negative effects on positive behaviour. The relationships between teachers’ autonomy support and students’ misbehaviour and positive behaviour were mediated by advantageous comparison and non-responsibility. In line with previous work, teacher autonomy support might be critical to enhancing students’ positive behaviour as well as reducing their misbehaviour. Since the mediating roles of advantageous comparison and non-responsibility were confirmed, we also suggest that strategies should be applied to eliminate students’ moral disengagement.

Abstract The combination of Creative Dance and BrainDance within the context of physical education could be a promising innovation. This combined program can be implemented in primary school to help students achieve a better and more holistic assessment of their Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), covering aspects of physical, emotional, social, and mental functioning and well-being. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact that a combined Creative Dance and BrainDance program based on the Laban Theory of Movement Analysis has on HRQoL perceptions of primary school students when this program is implemented within the context of the physical education curriculum in primary school. For this purpose, an eight-week educational intervention was designed combining Creative Dance and BrainDance into one single program. The survey sample consisted of 32 fifth- and sixth-grade primary school students. The Kidscreen-52 questionnaire was used to collect data. Data analysis was performed with the use of descriptive statistical indices and mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA). Although the results showed no differences between the beginning and end of the educational intervention, a fact that might be due to the small sample and the time of the implementation of the program (limited to 8 weeks), its implementation produced very good results with regard to improvisation, body control, balance, and coordination, as well as kinaesthetic awareness and musical rhythmic skills. Creative Dance and BrainDance promote imagination, creativity, improvisation, and self-esteem in general, particularly in primary school students..
