Effect of a Sport Education Program on Motivation for Physical Education and Leisure-Time Physical Activity

Abstract

Sport education facilitates more internalized forms of student motivation in required physical education programs, but without the provision of an appropriately designed extracurricular outlet, the potential of transfer to leisure-time physical activity may not be achieved.

“…Social recognition and status goals also significantly positively predicted extra-curricular exercise participation. However, students' motivation for leisure-time physical activity was not entirely confirmed in the authors' follow-up study examining students' perceptions over participation in a 2-year SE program (116) . It was suggested that the lack of appropriately designed extracurricular programmes might have restrained students' intention for participation in physical activities beyond those offered in the PE context.…”

“…According to Clarke and Quill (17) , the SE model gave pupils a more authentic and less abstracted learning experience, which has improved their understanding and performance in games and gymnastics. Conversely, although taken in reference to students' participation in consecutive seasons of SE involving team sports, the studies of Wallhead, Garn, and Vidoni (116) , Wallhead, Garn, Vidoni, and Youngberg (117) , and Sinelnikov and Hastie (104) were based on pre-post test surveys and on data collected in one moment in time after the participants' enrolment in SE. As a limitation in these studies no examination was conducted on the development of the teaching--learning process that might shed light on the whys and hows associated with the findings.…”

“…A few other studies focused on the effects of SE on participation in leisure-time physical activity (116)(117)(118) , social values development (e.g., 27) , participation and game involvement (e.g., 41,117) , students' role-playing (referees) (65) , physical activity levels (54) , and PSTs' autonomous instruction (89) .…”

“…The impact of SE on enthusiasm has been tested empirically mainly in reference to motivational outcomes. These studies have been primarily focused on measuring the perceived and objective climates of SE seasons (e.g., 103,119) and motivational changes that take place over a SE season (e.g., 102,106,116) . Some research has compared students' motivation within SE and in direct instruction/multi-activity units (e.g., 73,82) .…”

“…Because of these social changes, leisure is recognized as an important part of an active and creative life that contributes to the stability of life, not merely diversion or relaxation (Wallhead, Garn, &Vidoni, 2014). Among them, golf has become a very familiar sport for a short time, and it is attracted to modern people because it is a nature-friendly sport and leisure activity that promotes mental and physical development (Funk, Beaton,& Pritchard, 2011).…”
