Sažetak
Motivational climate which determines situational goal structure can be comprehended as a joint goal orientation of individuals sharing the same learning environment or situation. There are two basic patterns of motivational climate, namely learning oriented climate and performance oriented climate. Papaioannou (1994) developed a Learning and Performance Orientations in Physical Education Classes Questionnaire (LAPOPECQ) based on Ames' (1992) comprehension of the motivational climate. LAPOPECQ assesses pupils' perception of goal orientations during physical education classes. The aim of this research was to examine the psychometric characteristics of the Slovenian version of LAPOPECQ. 171 pupils (39% boys, 61% girls) from different primary and secondary schools took part in the study. The results of factor analysis showed that the factor structure of the Slovenian version closely fits the structure of the original version of LAPOPECQ. The instrument consists of five factors measuring teachers' behaviours, pupils' satisfaction with learning, climate with clear-normative based criteria, climate with clear-ability based criteria and pupils' worries about mistakes. The results show that the Slovenian version of LAPOPECQ is a reliable and metrically suitable instrument for assessing the motivational climate in the context of physical education.
