Abstract

Student motivation is a critical issue within all educational fields (Stipek. 2003), including physical education (Chen. 2001). In regard to physical education. the term motivation is commonly defined as the "ability to energize behavior" (Roberts. 2001). Energizing behavior is imperative as student participation and engagement is deemed a critical component to the overall learning and development of the physical education student (NASPE. 2004).
