MIGUEL LEO, Francisco et al. Validation of the Motivation in Physical Education Questionnaire in Primary Education (CMEF-EP). Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.1, pp.315-326. ISSN 1657-9267.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy15-1.vmpe.

The aim of this study was to validate in the Primary Education context the Motivational Questionnaire in Physical Education (CMEF), originally developed in Secondary Education. The sample size was formed by 333 primary school students, both male (n = 183) and female (n = 150), ranging in age from 10 to 12 years (M = 10.92, SD = 0.77) from six public schools of the autonomous community of Murcia. Results showed that the scale had an adequate factorial validity through the fit index obtained in confirmatory factorial analysis, as well as acceptable internal consistency values (a > 0.70). Likewise, instruments' factors were correlated with perception of positive behaviors in physical education, obtaining an adequate nomological validity. Therefore, this study provides evidence that the Motivation in Physical Education Questionnaire also allows analysing the types of students' motivational regulation of Physical Education classes in Primary Education.
