18 SES 04, Motivating Students to Learn in Sport and Physical Education
According to Self-Determination Theory (SDT), autonomy-supportive teachers foster adaptive outcomes in students (e.g., engagement) while controlling teachers increase the odds of maladaptive outcomes and undesirable student behaviour (e.g., oppositional defiance). Yet, despite the theoretical and empirical evidence on the benefits of autonomy support, during professional teacher training programs teachers sometimes raise doubts about whether in real-life an autonomy supportive teaching style would always lead to positive outcomes among every student (Aelterman et al., 2013). Instead, they suggest that at least some students, who are perhaps less optimally motivated, would benefit rather than suffer from a controlling approach. In the presented research, it was first investigated if these beliefs really exist among teachers (Study 1) and secondly whether the beliefs regarding the motivation-dependent effectiveness of a certain teaching style would hold true (Study 2).
