Incidencia del modelo de educación deportiva en las necesidades psicológicas básicas y amistad de estudiantes

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the impact of the application of a 7-week program of the sports education model on the satisfaction of the Basic Psychological Needs (BPN) and friendship goals in students who took part in physical education during soccer practice in the didactic unit given. A quasi-experimental design with a control group was used. Students between ages of 15 and 18 years old (M = 15.80, SD = 0.67) participated in each group (n=36). Mean difference analyses were performed through Student's t-test for related samples with pre-and post-test measures, and bivariate correlations were made with the pre-and post-test for the experimental group. The results showed a significant difference for the NPB of competence (t = -2.60, P < .05) and autonomy (t = -2.22, P < .05.), friendship goals (t = -2.69, P < .05), and avoidance (t = -3.15, P < .01), not like this for the NPB of relationship with others. Concerning the similarities of the GE pre-test, the NPB are significant, which do not correlate with the friendship goals, in the post-test, all they get along. It is concluded that it is essential for teachers to apply the Sports Education model.
