Resumen

En este trabajo se han analizado las relaciones entre el clima motivational, la motivación intrínseca, el comportamiento de los alumnos y su rendimiento académico en educación física. Para ello, 2189 adolescentes españoles de 13 a 17 años cumplimentaron cuestionarios sobre clima motivational de la clase, motivación intrínseca y disciplina. Sus profesores valoraron el comportamiento de los alumnos y su rendimiento académico. Un Modelo de Ecuaciones Estructurales ha mostrado que el clima de aprendizaje, el interés/diversión y el esfuerzo/importancia predicen la disciplina; el clima de comparación, la percepción de competencia y la tensión/presión predicen la indisciplina; el interés/diversión y el esfuerzo/importancia predicen el comportamiento en clase; y que el mejor predictor del rendimiento académico es la valoración que los profesores hacen del comportamiento de los alumnos. Se discuten los resultados en el marco de la teoría de metas de logro y en términos de aportación al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de los adolescentes.

Abstract

This study analysed the relationships between motivational climate, intrinsic motivation, student behaviour and their academic achievement in physical education. For this purpose, 2189 Spanish adolescents, ages 13 to 17 years, completed questionnaires about the motivational climate in the classroom, intrinsic motivation, and discipline. Their teachers assessed the students' behaviour and academic achievement. Structural Equation Modelling showed that 1) learning climate, interest/enjoyment, and effort/importance predicted discipline; 2) comparison climate, perceived competence, and tension/pressure predicted indiscipline, 3) interest/enjoyment and effort/importance predicted students' behaviour in class, and 4) the most important predictor of academic achievement was the teachers' assessment of students' behaviour. The results are discussed within the framework of achievement goal theory and in terms of contributing practical issues to adolescents' teaching-learning process.
