Aplicación de estrategias para desarrollar la automotivación en las clases de educación física de los estudiantes de primero de bachillerato de la Unidad Educativa de Milenio “Manuela Garaicoa de Calderón”

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if differences are perceived in the results of autonomous motivation according to the curricular contents, applying a program of motivational strategies for the support of autonomy in physical education (PE) classes with 14–15-year-old students at the Millennium Educational Unit "Manuela Garaicoa de Calderón". A quasi-experimental design was used, with experimental group one (n=30), experimental group two (n=25) to which the intervention was applied, and a control group (n=32). As the most outstanding results we can mention that it was possible to perceive results that show minuscule significant differences between experimental groups, and results in a significant way were found in favor of the experimental groups when compared with the control group.
