Abstract

The objective of the following study was to contrast the effect of an intervention in a didactic unit (DU) applying active methodologies such as gamification, in comparison with another in which traditional teaching styles were used, on situational motivation regarding the corporal expression contents, in Secondary Education students. For this, we used African Dance as a reference in Physical Education (PE) classes, and were comparatively analysed different motivational variables taking into account the Self-Determination Theory (TAD) in 98 students (M age = 15.5; SD =. 537) divided into a control group (n = 49) and an experimental group (n = 49). Measurements were carried out before and after the intervention period throughout the DU through questionnaires that measured support for basic psychological needs (CANPB), satisfaction of NPBs (BPNES), motivation (CMEF) and motivational climate (PEPS; SSI-EF) to check the effectiveness of the intervention. Our results suggest that using innovative active methodologies seems to be an effective tool on different motivational variables of the students, such as: support for autonomy, support for social relationships, autonomy, intrinsic motivation, identified motivation and external motivation. Despite this, more studies are needed to determine significantly the influence of gamification on motivation in PE classes.
