The influence of “small private online course + flipped classroom” teaching on physical education students’ learning motivation from the perspective of self-determination theory

Abstract

ObjectiveThe study aimed to enhance the learning motivation of college physical education students and improve their learning outcomes. Based on the perspective of the self-determination theory, this study explores the influence of “Small Private Online Course (SPOC) + flipped classroom” teaching on the learning motivation of students majoring in physical education and profoundly analyzes the influencing factors and promotion paths of learning motivation using this model.Materials and methodsA total of four classes (64 students) of physical education majors in a university were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group (34 students) and a control group (30 students). The experimental group received “SPOC + flipped classroom” teaching, the control group received traditional teaching. Before and after the 16-week intervention, learning motivation, teacher support perception, basic psychological need satisfaction, and academic emotions of the 64 students were measured, and the data were analyzed by repeated-measures analysis of variance and partial least square regression.Results(1) The instructional intervention reduced non-regulation, external regulation, and introjected regulation, while increased identified regulation, intrinsic regulation, and self-determination levels in the students. The levels of non-regulation, external regulation, identified regulation, and self-determination were also significantly different from those of the control group. (2) After the intervention, the scores of support for autonomy, support for competence, support for relatedness, and need for relatedness in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group. (3) Support for autonomy, support for competence, support for relatedness, need for competence and need for relatedness positively predicted the self-determination level, and intrinsic regulation and identified regulation negatively predicted non-regulation, external regulation, and introjected regulation.Conclusion“SPOC + flipped classroom” teaching has a positive impact on students’ learning motivation of basketball skills and promotes students’ motivation autonomy. The improvement of support for autonomy, support for competence, support for relatedness, need for competence, and need for relatedness may be related to the improvement of learning motivation of college students majoring in Physical Education (PE). “SPOC + flipped classroom” teaching enables students to obtain more demand satisfaction by giving them more demand support, while demand support and demand satisfaction can promote the internalization of learning motivation so that students can maintain high autonomy motivation.

The application and influence of “Small Private Online Course” based on flipped classroom teaching model in the course of fundamental operations in surgery in China

“…The process of self-study before class prolonged the study duration and thus promoted the whole study efficiency. Likewise, Hu et al 14 investigated the influence and effect on “SPOC + flipped classroom” on physical education students’ learning motivation and found that it had a positive impact of the video lectures on student’s motivation on basketball skills and promoted their motivation autonomy. The conception of SPOC claimed for independent study.…”

Research on the Construction of Index System to Promote the Sustainable Development of Core Literacy of Physical Education Teachers in Chinese Universities from the Perspective of Higher Education Modernization

“…The flipped classroom teaching model has become a favored approach in the field of education. It has been demonstrated that compared to the traditional classroom teaching mode, the "MOOC+ flipped Classroom" teaching mode is innovative in terms of teaching philosophy, teaching resources, and teaching methods [47].In addition, "SPOC + flipped classroom" teaching enables students to obtain more demand satisfaction by giving them more demand support, while demand support and demand satisfaction can promote the internalization of learning motivation so that students can maintain high autonomy motivation [48].These patterns promote the advancement of educational informatization and further facilitates the realization of educational modernization.…”

Research on the design and application of “MOOC + flipped classroom” for basketball courses in colleges and universities from the perspective of education modernization

“…This instructional design is divided into before class knowledge transfer stage, in class knowledge internalization stage, and after class knowledge consolidation stage ( Figure 1 ). Mainly from the perspective of teachers and students, the three stages of teaching activities are elaborated and analyzed in detail so that students can achieve the stage goals of knowledge construction, skill consolidation, and high-level application ( Hu et al, 2022 ).…”
