The different faces of controlling teaching: implications of a distinction between externally and internally controlling teaching for students’ motivation in physical education

Background: In Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a well-validated macro-theory on human motivation, a distinction is made between internally controlling teaching practices (e.g. guilt-induction and shaming) and externally controlling practices (e.g. threats and punishments, commands). While both practices are said to undermine students’ motivation, they would do so through somewhat differential motivational processes. Unfortunately, the relevance of the conceptual distinction between internally and externally controlling strategies has not been examined systematically. In the context of sport and physical education (PE), most studies on controlling teaching have either measured controlling teaching in an undifferentiated way or have focused on one particular feature of controlling teaching.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to provide a more fine-grained picture on the differential de-motivational effects of internally and externally controlling teaching strategies in the domain of PE.

Participants: A total of 925 students with an average age of 15.80 years (±1.99) coming out of 92 classes taught by 22 different PE teachers participated in the present study.

Data analysis: Data on perceived controlling teaching style and students’ motivation were analyzed within a multilevel framework from both a variable-centered (regression analyses) and person-centered approach (cluster analyses).

Results: We found evidence for a distinction between perceived internally and externally controlling teaching. Both teaching styles were strongly related to each other (r?=?.54). At the level of zero-order correlations, both internally and externally controlling teaching related negatively to students’ intrinsic motivation and identified regulation and related positively to introjected regulation, external regulation, and amotivation. However, when both teaching styles were included simultaneously as predictors of motivation in the regression analyses, only internally controlling teaching predicted poor quality and low quantity of motivation. A cluster analysis revealed different profiles of perceived controlling teaching style, with two profiles being characterized by either high or low levels of the two types of controlling teaching and other profiles displaying elevated or reduced levels of one of the types of controlling teaching. This person-centered analysis confirmed that particularly students who perceive their PE teacher as internally controlling are likely to report poor-quality motivation.

Conclusion: Controlling teaching (and internally controlling teaching in particular) is related to maladaptive motivational outcomes. As such, it can be advised to PE-practitioners to refrain from using controlling strategies when teaching students. More research is needed to identify the conditions under which teachers’ behavior is perceived as externally and/or internally controlling.     

西方教育选择理论述评

文章根据研究者对个人教育选择范围的不同认识,将西方教育选择研究分为三个派别:教育公共选择学派、教育市场选择学派和主张教育市场化、私营化的激进学派。同时分别介绍了他们在教育选择问题上的核心主张。在此基础上,对西方教育选择理论的现状进行了评析,认为已有的研究为我们提供丰富理论资源的同时,也存在缺陷。一方面对于个人教育选择的价值缺乏全面认识,另一方面对教育选择的制度设计拘泥于政府或者市场的思路。

WTO教育服务贸易的主要规则解析

WTO的精髓是规则，WTO规则的特点是“原则＋例外”。中国教育若想在世界教育服务竞争中占有一席之地，就必须学会在规则的缝隙当中去生存，学会运用规则来保护自己、发展自己。文章从GATS文本解读入手，阐释了教育服务、教育服务贸易、教育服务贸易壁垒的含义与范围，论述了非歧视与公平竞争、稳定性与可预见性、发展性与差别对待三大基本原则和例外规定，分析了世界对教育服务贸易的态度和我们的立场。     

我国教育管理伦理研究现状与反思

近二三十年来,我国在教育管理伦理研究方面取得了重要进展,主要体现为研究意义的认同、研究热点的形成以及多学科学者的共同参与等.同时也存在着问题研究深度不够均衡、实证研究稍显薄弱等局限,文章从四个方面对于我国教育管理伦理研究的进一步发展提出了期望.     

感悟教学法的理论思考

感悟教学法是新课程大纲所倡导的重要的课堂教学方法之一,其独特之处在于关注个体在知识传承链接中的发展流程,引导学生学会生存,学会做人.感悟教学法有其自身的理论基础和基本框架,对感悟教学法的源头思考有助于课堂教学过程中对感悟教学法的实际运用,使教师能够重新审视自己,并以人文精神延展生命的张力,改变学生的学习方式,凸显学习主体的中心地位,让学习成为学生的一种内需,从而使课堂教学恢复青春活力.
