Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of three instructional approaches in secondary education students' physical self-concept after the implementation of an ultimate learning unit. A total of 274 (males: 151, females: 133) students (12 to 17 years of age) from an urban, coeducational high school (grades 8th to 12th) agreed to participate. They were distributed into three study groups in each grade: one group was taught using a Traditional approach (TRAD), another group was taught using the Sport Education model (SEM), and a third group was also taught using the Sport Education model and self-made materials (SEM-SM). The AF5-Self-Concept Questionnaire was administered to assess physical self-concept. The results showed that only the students in the SEM-SM group significantly increased their physical self-concept from initial to final tests. Self-made materials seem to have a significant positive effect, possibly due to their constructivist basis.

Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar los efectos de tres propuestas de enseñanza en el autoconcepto físico de estudiantes de secundaria después de experimentar una unidad didáctica de ultimate. Un total de 274 estudiantes (varones: 151, mujeres: 133) de una escuela urbana de secundaria (12 a 17 años) accedieron a participar. Todos ellos fueron distribuidos en tres grupos de estudio en cada nivel educativo (de 1° de la ESO a 1° de Bachillerato): a un grupo se le aplicó un modelo de enseñanza tradicional (TRAD), a otro grupo se le aplicó el modelo de educación deportiva (SEM) y al tercer grupo se le aplicó el modelo de educación deportiva con materiales auto-construidos (SEM-SM). El cuestionario AF5 de auto-concepto fue administrado para evaluar el autoconcepto físico de los sujetos. Los resultados mostraron que sólo los estudiantes en el grupo SEM-SM aumentaron de manera significativa su autoconcepto físico. Los materiales autoconstruidos parecen tener un efecto significativo positivo en el autoconcepto posiblemente debido a su base constructivista.
