Research has demonstrated the importance of relatedness perceptions to self-determined motivation in physical education. Therefore, studies have begun to examine the social factors contributing to feelings of relatedness. The purpose of this study was to examine teacher (perceived emotional support) and peer (acceptance, friendship quality) relationship variables to feelings of relatedness, mot...

Specifically, verbal and nonverbal independent variables were compared with dependent traits of expectancy-value and approach-avoidance motivation. Students selfreported perceived levels of instructor immediacy and self-rated their resulting motivation. The measures of verbal and no...

Typically, this reward signal makes specific assumptions about the agent’s external environment, such as the presence of certain tasks which should be learned or the presence of a teacher to provide reward feedback. For many complex, dynamic environments, design time knowledg...

Studies examining student motivation levels suggest that this is a significant factor in students' engagement in physical education and may be positively affected when teachers employ alternative pedagogical models such as game-centered approaches (GCAs). The aim of this study was to investigate changes in self-determined motivation of students as they participated in a GCA-basketball unit taug...
