Sažetak
On a sample of 118 female and 104 male primary school students aged 13±1.2 years, research was carried out with the aim of determining the relation among different types of motivation in sport compared to the perceived sport competence. To determine the type of motivation in sport, a questionnaire Task and Ego Orientation Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ) was used. With the aim of determining the structure and measure of the Perceived Sport Competence (PSC) a new instrument of measure was constructed according to the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ) by Marsh. According to the analysis of the results, an important difference between female and male students was not statistically determined neither according to the level of orientation of motivation in sport nor in the assessment of competence on the General PSC scale. A statically important difference in the results of the Specific PSC scale was found in which male pupils have considerably more results than female pupils. An additional analysis showed how the cluster of medium task/low ego orientation considerably differed from the two clusters of those questioned (clusters of medium task/high ego and high task/high ego). Finally, the construction of the two scales of perceived sport competence with high quality metrical characteristics, and the differentiation of male and female students by the Specific PSC according to the different type of motivation in sport, especially ego orientation, enabled both scientific and practical application in the analysis of motivation in sport in the sample of school aged children.
