Sažetak
Autotelic and instrumental activities are essential for understanding motivation. Purpose of this study was to find out if physical education (PE) experimental program (EP) has positive effects on development of autotelic and decrease of instrumental activity. Accordingly, we hypothesize that experimental group, treated with EP, is expected to increase intrinsic motivation and identified regulation, and decrease external and introjective regulation which are predictors of autotelic activity. Students (12- 14 years old), participated in 10 days PE EP during a regular semester time schedule. EP was designed in a holistic and multi disciplinary framework that encourages students to volitional activity and critical thinking. Motivation was measured with Sport Motivation Scale and the t-test analysis was applied to test hypothesis. Results of this study showed that EP has positive effects on intrinsic motivation and autotelic activity as its characteristic. Students who participated in the EP manifested autotelic activity which was shown in an increased identified regulation and decreased external and introjective regulation. Control group had an increase in intrinsic motivation and increase in introjective and external regulation which are characteristics of an instrumental activity. This study suggests that further intrinsic motivation studies demand a qualitative approach in order to understand clearer autotelic activity. EP can be used as an efficient tool for attaining intrinsic motivation. Therefore, teacher as a role model and as an interpreter of formal sport activity is mandatory in order to develop autotelic activity.
