“…Previous research in PE has shown gender differences across various motivation-related constructs with boys consistently demonstrating higher levels of enjoyment, expectancy-related beliefs, perceived competence, physical self-perceptions, and expectations for success than girls (Lee et al, 1999;Morgan et al, 2003;Satina, Solmon, Cothran, Loftus, & Stockin-Davidson, 1998;Xiang, McBride, Guan, & Solmon, 2003). However, data related to gender differences in situational motivation during PE are limited, especially in relation to skill testing.…”

“…For example, previous studies have found that when teachers use methodologies specifically intended to increase student perceptions of choice (Prusak et al, 2004;Ward, Wilkinson, Graser, & Prusak, 2008), perceived competence (Lee, Fredenberg, Belcher, & Cleveland, 1999), and sociality (Prusak & Darst, 2002;Reeve & Sikenius, 1994), that such practices have a positive effect on situational motivation in PE. Self-determination theory provides a particularly useful theory in that it proposes that life-long, motivated behaviors (such as physical activity patterns) are shaped and influenced by the collective and formative success in situation-and context-specific experiences, such as those in PE (Guay, Mageau, & Vallerand, 2003).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of (a) skill test type, (b) choices, and (c) gender on the situational motivation profiles of adolescents during skill testing in physical education. Participants were 507 students (53% male) aged 12-16 years (M = 13.87; SD = 0.94) attending a suburban junior high school in a western state in the U.S. All participants experienced either a norm-referenced, summative or a criterion-referenced, formative skill test with or without choices. The Situational Intrinsic Motivation Scale (SIMS) was administered to assess situational motivation. A 2 (test type) × 2 (choice) × 2 (gender) MANOVA was used to test for significant differences on each of the four SIMS indices. Significant test type and gender and a significant test type by gender interaction were found. These findings suggest practitioners should use criterion-referenced, formative skill tests especially when teaching girls in physical education.

“…Lee et al (1999) explican que la influencia del profesor y su práctica motivacional puede ayudar en la escogencia deportiva de los niños y las niñas, principalmente cuando se trata de actividades que son identificadas como masculinas o femeninas. Esa influencia parece no haber sido muy evidente en el grupo estudiado.…”

“…This result implies that the trajectory of talented young female players is cut off as they get older. Lee et al [39] indicated that females are more sedentary because they do not like competition since they look for long time objectives. Since this objectives are more complex to maintain this limited their permanence in the sport practice.…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between basketball players that have participated in the Spanish national team at different age categories and their progression through these categories. This progress is differentiated according to sex. The data for this study contain information about 320 players (163 females and 157 males). Results show that only a small percentage of players recognized as talented young players reached athletic excellence when adults. The evolution of the level of participation for females and males was similar. There was a break in the continuity of participation when comparing under-16 and senior categories. This rupture is also observed in female players in the move from under-18 to senior categories.
