Abstract
The present study analyzed the influence of a hybrid unit on Motivation, BPN satisfaction, Intention to be Physically Active and Satisfaction in PE class. Gender was considered as a variable of interest. Sport Education Model (SE) and Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) were hybridized in a mini handball unit for four secondary education groups, aged between 13 and 15 years (n=70). In other three classes (n=67) a traditional approach was proposed, working as a control group. Pre and post test MANOVA inferential analysis was conducted between and within groups. Experimental group showed significative results in almost all variables. Preliminary gender differences were removed or minimized for all variables. The hybridization of pedagogical models could support a more inclusive, equitable environment. Both genders showed similar values of self-determined motivation and improved both their satisfaction in PE classes and their intention to be physically active.
