Abstract: | Physical Education (PE) teachers can influence students’ self-determination through the
motivational strategies that they use. The present study examined how teachers’ reported use
of three motivational strategies (providing a meaningful rationale, providing instrumental
help and support, and gaining an understanding of the students) were predicted by perceived
job pressure, perceptions of student self-determination, and their autonomous orientation,
psychological need satisfaction, and self-determination to teach. Structural equation
modeling supported a model in which perceived job pressure, perceptions of student selfdetermination
and teacher autonomous orientation predicted teacher psychological need
satisfaction, which, in turn positively influenced teacher self-determination. The latter
positively predicted the use of all three strategies. Direct positive effects of teachers’
psychological need satisfaction on the strategies of gaining an understanding of students and
instrumental help and support were also found. In summary, factors that influence teacher
motivation may also indirectly affect their motivational strategies towards students. |
