Abstract

This study analyses the differences between pre-service Physical Education Teachers (PET) and other students of Education with regard to the ability of self-management. The sample comprised of 58 Spanish students of Education in their last year at the university. The comparison context was a 3D simulation learning environment. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were conducted to develop this research work. Results showed that this technological environment is a space in which students of Education display a high level of self-management ability performance. Results also evince that PET students present better scores than other students of Education in terms of self-management.
