Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of group forming in motivation'sperception in P.E. class. The group formation concerned the initiative (teacher'sstudents'), and the kind of groups (mixed-homogeneous) in football and volleyball. The sample was 108 male and 100 female junior high school students in Eastern Macedonia aged 13.1, who answered in anonymous questionnaires (Theodorakis,1994, McAuley,Duncun & Tammen, 1989, Fox & Corbin, 1988), which measured the usual class training, group formation's attitudes, the internal motivation considering pleasure, effort, perception of athletic ability and pressure. For the statistical analysis one-way ANOVA has been used. The results about football have shown statistically significant differences between the sexes, towards attitudes, where the girls preferred the teacher's group formation (F(1,203) =3.89, p<.05), the cooperation with people of opposite sex (F(1,203)=10.77, p<.001), and mixed group formation (F(1,201) =5.75, p<.05), whereas boys preferred homogeneous group formation (F(1,206) =9.35, p<.01). In volleyball, girls preferred their own group formation (F(1,204) =5.21, p<.05) and the cooperation with the opposite sex (F(1,203) =4.02, p<.05). Also, in football , boys scored higher as far as pleasure is concerned(F(1,190) =19.76, p<.001), and the perception of athletic ability (F(1,198) =71.42, p<.001), whereas in volleyball girls scored higher in pleasure scale (F(1,196)=29.79, p<.001), and psychological pressure (F(1,199) =10.79, p<.001). Above outcomes could be of great help to the P.E. teachers trying to create groups for the specific sports, in order to achieve high internal motivation.
