Fatores motivacionais nas aulas de educação física escolar do Ensino Médio

Abstract

The objective of the present study was to know which factors motivate or discourage students to participate in the Physical Education classes at the State School Professor Josino Macêdo, in high school classes. Specifically, we sought to: a) identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors that (un) motivate students to become involved in class; And b) to distinguish the profile of the students participating in the Physical Education classes. The data were collected from the application of a questionnaire containing five closed questions and one open to a sample of thirty-two students of both sexes. The class belongs to the second year of high school, afternoon period and average age of 16 years. The results indicate that the motivational factors that most influence the students to participate in the class are: the presence and the note; And those that most influence students not to participate are: laziness and repetitive content. Thus, it is up to the teacher to devise strategies to avoid students evasion and make classes more motivating.
