Effect of Teacher Autonomy Support on College Students’ Autonomous Motivation in Physical Education: The Mediating Role of Self-Efficacy
Abstrct
This is important not only for sustaining but also for further improving educational effectiveness. It has also been suggested that teacher autonomy support constitutes one critical environmental factor contributing to the development of this kind of motivation. However, related research in physical education contexts is still scant. The objective of this study was to find out how much personal support helped Chinese college students be more motivated to do well in physical education classes and how much this was due to self-efficacy playing a role. This study sampled 406 Chinese college students to collect data on perceptions toward teacher autonomy support, autonomous motivation, and self-efficacy in physical education settings. The two theoretical models analysed data using different statistical techniques to test mediated effects. Results showed that teacher-provided autonomy support, self-efficacy, and autonomous motivation are highly interrelated. Moreover, autonomy support predicts autonomous motivation indirectly through self-efficacy. In addition, the mediation model did not vary across gender groups. These findings suggest that physical educators can create increases in students' self-efficacy and autonomous motivation by enhancing the levels of autonomy support. This could lead to better quality in physical education and help people come up with effective methods to help students who are having trouble with their classes at the college level.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
