Abstract [sv]

Syfte och frågeställning

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vad som motiverar eleverna samt inte motiverar dem att delta under idrott & hälsa lektionerna. Frågeställningarna som kommer genomsyra studien är:

- Vilken är elevers inställning till ämnet idrott & hälsa?

- Vad motiverar dem till att delta eller inte delta?

Metod

Metoden som valdes i studien var en kvalitativ intervjumetod. Två gymnasieklasser valdes ut och tre från vardera klass intervjuades. Intervjufrågorna formades utifrån frågeställningar samt studiens teoretiska referensram, Self Determined Theory.

Resultat

Resultatet visar att de flesta elever med idrottsbakgrund är mer motiverade under idrottslektionerna samt att deras känsla av kompetens, samhörighet och autonomi spelar en stor roll gällande deras motivation. En annan viktig faktor var lärarens undervisningsstil. En entusiastisk, engagerad och tydlig lärare bidrog till att allt fler elever blev mer motiverade.

Slutsats

Det som studien har visat rimmar med tidigare forskning som presenterats. Lärarens entusiasm och kunskap smittar av sig till eleverna och kan bidra till en ökad motivation. Trots att vi fokuserade på ämnet idrott & hälsa var det matematikläraren som visade hur viktigt det är med en engagerad och entusiastisk lärare. Något annat som kom fram under studiens gång var begreppen kompetens, samhörighet och autonomi. Saknar individen något av detta kan det leda till brist på motivation. Känner eleven istället kompetens, samhörighet och autonomi kan det lättare bidra till utveckling av inre motivation. Det är en större chans att uppnå inre motivation om individen kan känna av alla tre begreppen? Slutligen visar studien att om lektionsinnehållet har ett tydligt syfte samt en koppling till framtiden, eller hur de kan använda sig av kunskapen utanför skolan, ledde det till en större motivation bland eleverna.

Aim

The aim of the study is to investigate what motivates the students and does not motivate them to participate in the physical education lessons. The following issues have been used,

-What is the students attitude to physical education class ?

-What motivates them to participate or not participate?

Method

The method chosen in the study was a qualitative interview method. Two high school classes were selected and three from each class were interviewed. The interview questions were based on our issues and the study's theoretical frame of reference, Self Determined Theory.

Results

The result shows that most students with sports backgrounds are more motivated during the physical education lessons, and that their sense of competence, affinity and autonomy play a major role in their motivation. Another important factor was the teacher's teaching style. An enthusiastic and committed teacher contributed to an increasing number of students becoming more motivated.

Conclusions

The study has strengthened previous research presented. The teacher's enthusiasm and knowledge spreads to the students and can contribute to increased motivation. Although we focused on the subject of physical education, it was the mathematics teacher who showed how important it is with a committed and enthusiastic teacher. Something else that emerged during the study was the concepts of competence, affinity and autonomy, if the individual lacks any of the concepts, it can lead to a lack of motivation. If the learner has skills, affinity and autonomy instead, it can more easily lead to inner motivation. It is a greater chance to achieve inner motivation if the individual can sense all three concepts. Finally, we also found that if the lesson content has a clear purpose and a connection to the future, or how they can use the knowledge outside the school, leads to a greater motivation among the students.
