Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyse the effects of task motivational climate on female university students' motivational responses during basketball teaching. Different styles of cognitive teaching were used to convey a task climate. Guided discovery was used in one group, problem solving in another and a combination of both styles in the last group. Motivational climate, goal orientations and self-determined motivation were measured before and after the intervention. The MANOVA results after the intervention showed that the different styles created a similar motivational climate, since no significant differences were found between the three groups. The repeated measures ANOVA showed an increase in the perception of task climate and self-determined motivation and a decrease in the perceptions of ego climate and in ego orientation.

Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar los efectos del clima motivacional tarea sobre las respuestas motivacionales de estudiantes universitarias durante la enseñanza del baloncesto. Para transmitir un clima tarea se utilizaron diferentes estilos de enseñanza cognitivos. En un grupo se utilizó el descubrimiento guiado, en otro la resolución de problemas y en el último una combinación de ambos estilos. Se midió la percepción del clima motivacional, las orientaciones de meta y la motivación autodeterminada antes y después de la intervención. Los resultados del MANOVA tras la intervención revelaron que los diferentes estilos creaban un clima motivacional similar, puesto que no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los tres grupos. El ANOVA de medidas repetidas mostró un incremento en la percepción del clima tarea y la motivación autodeterminada y un descenso en las percepciones de clima ego y en la orientación al ego.
