Abstract

If we want to generate motivation in our PE students, it is necessary to analyze what the teacher has in terms of the physical activity carried out. The objective was to analyze the relationship between the level of moderate-vigorous physical activity and the motivational climate of physical education teachers (PE). Participated were 125 teachers (71 men and 45 women) of PE from Costa Rica, with an average age of 40.12 ± 13.62 years. Five practical jump rope workshops were developed under the attitudinal style. The SOFIT program was used to record the time and intensity of the physical activity performed and the motivational climate questionnaire perceived in sport-2 (PMCSQ-2). A discussion group was also held with 10 of the teachers. The variable of cooperative learning (p=.022) and that of the important role of the student (p=.039) correlated significantly with the index of moderate-vigorous physical activity. The variable of unequal recognition among partners did it in an inverse way (p=.032). The teachers positively evaluated the training received in order to rethink the importance of the role of the PE teacher in the classroom. It is important to continue working in the training of teachers on bodily practices that generate motivation in themselves, as it guarantees to a greater extent that it is implemented in the classroom.
