Motivation plays a fundamental role in the learning process of physical education students; therefore, it is very important to analyze methodologies that encourage them motivate students to learn. In this sense, the aim of this study was to analyze the influence of an 8-week program based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) on motivation towards its practice. The research design was quasi-experimental, using the questionnaire "Measurement of Motivational Strategies in Physical Education Classes" (CMEMEF) and the "Basic Psychological Needs Scale" (BPNES). Seventy-five first and second-year high school students participated. The results showed that after the application of the program, students experienced a significant increase in their motivation towards physical education, focusing on effort, learning and personal improvement. A decrease in comparison and personal competence was also observed. In terms of basic psychological needs, it was found that autonomy, competence, and relatedness to others increased significantly. PBL satisfied and strengthened these needs, fostering self-determination, intrinsic motivation and a positive classroom environment. The results also showed that ego climate did not correlate with task climate or basic psychological needs. In conclusion, PBL promoted a greater orientation towards effort, learning, and self- improvement while decreasing self-comparison and personal competition. Additionally, it strengthened basic psychological needs, having a positive effect on emotional well-being.

The aim of the present investigation was to determine the relationship between autonomy support, motivation, satisfaction and intention to be physically active by means of a bivariate correlations analysis. A descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was executed. The study sample consisted of 280 male students selected at convenience, aged between 11 and 18 years (M = 14.18, SD = 1.44). Different questionnaires and scales were used to measure the perception of teacher autonomy support, motivation, sport satisfaction and intention to be physically active. Correlation analyses were performed between the study variables. The results revealed that autonomy support correlates positively with intrinsic motivation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, satisfaction/fun and intention to be physically active, while it correlates negatively with demotivation and boredom. It is concluded that physical education teachers who are in favor of autonomy-supportive environments increase motivation in the classroom, develop enjoyment and promote the intention to remain physically active in the future of students, avoiding demotivation and boredom.
