Motivação e desmotivação nas aulas de Educação Física escolar: um estudo com as turmas do 8º e 9º anos de uma escola pública de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

This study aims to explore the theme of motivation and demotivation of male and female students at the end of elementary school 2 in physical education classes at a municipal public school located in the city of Belo Horizonte. The target audience was 8th and 9th grade students. If analyzed in isolation, the data seem to indicate a great lack of motivation among students for PE classes. However, when we compare these data with the motivation to be at school, it is possible to observe that a considerable part of the students' demotivation occurs due to the 'school' institution and not due to the physical education class itself. Keywords: demotivation; physical education; school; motivation.
