Resumo: This study aims at investigating the reason children (from 8 to 10 years old of private school in Santa Maria-RS) have for practicing motor acitivities in school. 88 children (45 girls and 43 boys) from primary school were studied and a questionnaire based on Roberts et al., 1986 was used. In order to collect the data the questionnaire was answered in group in the classroom. For the analysis of data the descriptive statistics and internal (task and ego) and external ( social approval and extrinsical reward) categories were employed. Results showed that concerning female children’s motivation for the practice of motor acitivities, internal reasons related to ego were mostly frequent and the entertainment and recreation seem to be the relevant ones for the group; as for male participants’ reasons the internal ones were also the most evident but related to task, pleasure on performing movement, the liking for sports and the learning in Physical Education classes were the most important reasons. Comparing internal and external reasons for the motor practices, the internal reasons were more frequent. Thus, there are evidences that children are interested in task and ego, demonstranting that school context, in its physical and human structure, seems to provide opportunities to perform such motor activities as well as to encourage and to teach.

Participaram deste estudo 88 crianças de ambos os sexos (45 meninas e 43 meninos), pertencentes ao ensino fundamental. Como instrumento, utilizou-se um questionário baseado em Roberts, Spink, Pemberton, (1986). Para fins de coleta de dados, o questionário foi aplicado em grupo, em sala de aula. Para análise dos dados, utilizaram-se a estatística descritiva e as categorias internas (tarefa e ego) e externas (aprovação social e recompensa extrínseca). Com base nos resultados, chegou-se às seguintes conclusões: em relação aos motivos das crianças do sexo feminino para a prática de atividades motoras na escola, os motivos internos, relacionados ao ego, foram mais freqüentes, parecendo ser o divertimento e a distração as razões mais relevantes para este grupo; quanto aos motivos das crianças do sexo masculino para a prática de atividades motoras na escola, os mais evidenciados foram de ordem interna, relacionados com a tarefa, em que o prazer pela realização do movimento, o gosto pelo esporte e a aprendizagem nas aulas de Educação Física foram as razões mais importantes. Comparando os motivos internos e externos para a realização da prática motora, percebe-se que os de maior freqüência foram os de origem interna. Dessa forma, há evidências de que as crianças possuem os interesses voltados para a tarefa e o ego, demonstrando, assim, que o ambiente escolar, em sua estrutura física e humana, parece estar oportunizando condições para a realização das atividades motoras, bem como o encorajamento e a instrução.Department of Physical Education - State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil2008-06-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/3757Journal of Physical Education; Vol 13 No 1 (2002); 99-107Journal of Physical Education; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2002); 99-107Journal of Physical Education; v. 13 n. 1 (2002); 99-1072448-2455reponame:Journal of Physical Education (Maringá)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMporhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/3757/2581Berleze, AdrianaVieira, Lenamar FioreseKrebs, Ruy Jornadainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-10T15:37:21Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/3757Revistahttp://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/indexPUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||revdef@uem.br2448-24552448-2455opendoar:2023-01-10T15:37:21Journal of Physical Education (Maringá) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)false
