La competencia como medio de motivación en los niños y niñas durante la clase de educación física en el colegio Instituto Técnico Mercedes Abrego.

Abstract

Within the framework of this research project, a thorough analysis of the behavior exhibited by students in response to the competitive dynamics present during Physical Education classes is carried out. This study is developed through the implementation of direct observations, supported by a constant adjustment in the methodology used, depending on the various variables that emerge during the process. The methodology adopted involves detailed attention to the interaction of students with the competitive component, identifying behavioral patterns, levels of participation and possible impacts on their intrinsic motivation. Direct observation is chosen as a valuable resource to capture the subtle nuances of students' reactions, thus allowing a deeper understanding of their response to specific competitive situations. In order to enrich this analysis, a variety of sources have been consulted, including specialized articles and previous research works that address competence as a central factor in student motivation. The review of existing literature provides a solid theoretical framework, allowing observational findings to be contextualized within a broader body of knowledge.
