Análise da motivação em jogos competitivos e cooperativos na educação física escolar : percepção dos professores

Abstract

The present study addressed the influence of competitive and cooperative games on motivation in physical education classes. The objective was to analyze the motivation in competitive and cooperative games within the scope of school physical education through the perception of teachers. The study is of a qualitative nature, with descriptive typology, cross-section and used discourse analysis, as well as simple statistics. 56 teachers of both sexes from different Brazilian regions were surveyed who work as physical education teachers in the public or private education system with at least one year of experience. As a tool for data collection, a virtual semi-structured questionnaire was applied. Eight recurrence codes were found in the participants' discourse: Taste and participation, Dynamism and movement, Teamwork, Empathy, Socialization, Motivation in classes, Frustration and Exclusion. Through the analysis of the collected speeches it was possible to understand that the teachers identify the motivation levels of their students through the participation and verbalization of the taste for classes. It was also observed that dynamism in classes provides greater excitement and interest in students, and that competitive games motivate students more, while cooperative games influence more social and ethical issues.
