GARCIA-MAS, ALEXANDRE  e  GIMENO, FERNANDO. GOAL ORIENTATION THEORY AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHING: PRACTICAL ISSUES. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2008, vol.40, n.3, pp.511-522. ISSN 0120-0534.

This study analysed whether the evaluation of sports motivation, according to the Goal Orientation Theory, varies according with the use of simple or combined motivational profiles. It also explored its relationship with variables such as the level of sports practice, or the level of competition and success. Seventy-two men and women, students of Sport and Physical Activity Sciences from Zaragoza (Spain), answered the Spanish adaptation (Guivernau & Duda, 1994) of the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire, (Duda, 1989). Results indicated differences between the motivational profiles considered, in relation to the sportive practice variables. Finally, we discuss the practical implications of these results attending the Motivational Climate generated at the Physical Education classrooms.
