The role of the teaching style adopted by the physical and sports education teacher in fostering motivation in middle school pupils

Abstract EN

This study aims to identify the relationship between teaching style (s) in physical and sports education (PSE) and motivation in middle school pupils and the extent to which these styles might motivate them to engage in physical activity, for this purpose, we used the descriptive research method, on a sample composed of 30 pupils randomly chosen, and for data collection, we used the questionnaire tool and a direct observation grid.

after collecting the results and having treated them statistically, we conclude there is a significant increase in motivation amongst these preadolescents to physical practice, due to the teaching style adopted.

on this basis, the study recommended the motivational teaching style be used more in the classroom for better achievement of motor tasks, and that it be replicated over a longer period of time by including other research tools for more authentic and generalizable results.
