DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE OF PE TEACHERS

AND THEIR MOTIVATIONAL APPROACHES

ACROSS SECONDARY SCHOOLS
IN SURALLAH

 CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Motivation is important in almost every

aspect of human behavior. When you make a
decision, your choice is certainly influenced by
your motivational state. Study shown that
rewards (e.g., money) enhance learning due to
the modulation function by the reward network
in the brain ( Adcock, Thangavel, Whitfield-
Gabrielli, Knutson & Gabrieli, 2006). On this
basis, some argue for the value of reward in
education ( Howard-Jones & Jay, 2016).
 Motivation is one of the most significant
psychological concepts in many areas of life-
from work and education to achieving
personal goals. In sports and physical activity,
motivation plays an important part due to the
fact that, to millions of people worldwide,
staying fit and active is not an obligation or a
professional prerequisite but rather a personal
goal. Blockchain technology, together with
elements of gamification, may actually help
people achieve this goal ( Jane Williams, 2018).
 According to the Association for
Applied Sports Psychology, in the case of
professional athletes, extrinsic rewards
may actually strengthen intrinsic
motivation. However, it is also important
for extrinsic rewards to not become more
important than inner motivation and a
goal oriented outlook, otherwise there is
a risk of losing the feeling of actually
being in control of your behavior.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

Majority of the respondents are female

PE teachers. Most of them are in the
middle age, married, Roman Catholic,
Ilonggo, Bachelor’s degree holder, and
graduated at Notre Dame of Marbel
University. Among the given indicators,
66.67 % of the respondents leverage
social media as the most common
motivational approaches used by them.
 PE teachers across
public schools in Surallah
also used rewards and
praises as form of
extrinsic motivation to
students and provided
feedbacks on results of
written task and
performance task.
 They also used cooperative
learning for better interactive
learning. Majority of them
oftentimes employ authentic
learning experiences rather abstract
challenges. Most of the respondents
sometimes allowed their students to
choose their own assessment, create
vision board using canvass and
doing outdoor activities like going to
museums and fieldtrip.
Previously studies have shown that
physical activities level among
undergraduate students have declined.
As such, universities are looking for any
number of ways to do so- including social
media. It has proven to be a powerful
tool ( Paul Mayne, 2019). Social media is
one of the most widely used approach in
engaging students into learning
nowadays. It is because of its visual and
audio content that draw attention to
listeners and viewers.
A study “ Intrinsic and Extrinsic
Motivations of Social Media Use: College
Students Perspective” found that
compared extrinsic motivators, intrinsic
motivators have stronger influence on
college students’ development of social
media addiction. In addition to having
fun, significant intrinsic motivation
factors in effecting people’s social media
addiction levels also included getting
away from social responsibilities and
realities.
As a Physical Education teacher, you can
offer prizes and trophies to students for
completing activities, but these external
motivators will quickly lose their appeal and
you’ll be left trying to find more rewards
just to keep your students interested. The
key to getting and keeping your students
motivated in PE is by developing their
intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is
the pleasure students get from engaging or
completing activity (How to Get Your
Students Motivated in PE( and Beyond).
Some tips to get your students
motivated in PE is develop activities
that build on students’ interest, increase
opportunities for self-directed learning,
use task progressions and set up
activities that promote success. PE is
meant to engage and motivate students
in fun, authentic physical activity in
order to promote a healthy and active
lifestyle ( How to Get Your Students
Motivated in PE ( and Beyond).
