Study protocol for a theory-informed randomized controlled trial of a lifestyle and sleep intervention to improve quality of life and physical activity in inactive adults: The SleeP exercIse nutRition…
Sleep, physical activity, and diet are key determinants of health, each independently associated with chronic disease risk and mortality. These behaviors also interact: insufficient sleep can impair physical activity and dietary choices, while regular exercise and healthy diet promote better sleep. Although lifestyle interventions commonly target physical activity and diet, few simultaneously address sleep. Emerging evidence suggests that even sm…
Effect of a need-supportive training programme on novice teachers’ motivating style and students’ engagement: The role of video-based discussion
Based on self-determination theory, this study examines the added value of video-based discussion, which is included in a need-supportive training programme, on novice teachers’ motivating style and students’ engagement throughout a school year. Twenty-four teachers in the treatment condition attended a need-supportive training programme including a video-based discussion, while 24 teachers in the standard condition participated in the need-suppo…
Impact of a French social marketing campaign to increase parental support and physical activity in adolescents aged 11–14 years: A longitudinal study
This evaluation showed positive and encouraging results, with some even maintained over the long term. Given these promising results, the campaign has been rebroadcast. Its effectiveness will be investigated with the same cohort of parents
Teachers’ perception of classes’ engagement, observed motivating teaching practices, and students’ motivation: A mediation analysis
A classification system for teachers' motivational behaviors recommended in self-determination theory interventions
Teachers' behavior is a key factor that influences students' motivation. Many theoretical models have tried to explain this influence, with one of the most thoroughly researched being self-determination theory (SDT). We used a Delphi method to create a classification of teacher behaviors consistent with SDT. This is useful because SDT-based interventions have been widely used to improve educational outcomes. However, these interventions contain m…
The Key Role of Psychosocial Competencies in Evidence-Based Youth Mental Health Promotion: Academic Support in Consolidating a National Strategy in France
Psychosocial competencies, also known as psychosocial skills or life skills, are essential for the prevention and promotion of mental health. Since the beginning of this century, psychosocial competencies have been defined as the ability to develop positive mental health. Most individual or social mental health protection programs are related to psychosocial competencies. A majority of evidence-based programs that develop mental health explicitly…
Are teachers’ subjective feelings linked with need-supportive and need-thwarting motivating styles? A cross-lagged pilot study in physical education
This article examines the relations between the teachers’ subjective feeling and their motivating teaching style during physical education lessons. Doing so, it aimed at better understanding the emotional antecedents of the teaching behaviors. Twelve volunteer physical education teachers were filmed with their respective classes to assess the motivating style they used during their intervention. Immediately after, the subjective feelings they fel…
Antecedents of primary school teachers’ need-supportive and need-thwarting styles in physical education
It is widely acknowledged that teachers’ (de)motivating style (what they say, do and how they act) affects students’ learning. Understanding what leads teachers to adopt a (de)motivating style is necessary to develop effective training programmes. The current study aimed to identify antecedents of teachers’ motivating (i.e. need-supportive) and demotivating (i.e. need-thwarting) styles by (a) examining the relationships between five types of pres…
Promoting Physical Activity during School Closures Imposed by the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Physical Education Teachers’ Behaviors in France, Italy and Turkey
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced physical activity (PA) behaviors of many people. Physical education (PE) is considered one of the privileged instruments to promote youths' PA. We aimed to investigate the effects of lockdown on PE teachers' behaviors promoting their students' out-of-school PA and differences between three European countries. A sample of 1146 PE teachers (59.5% females) from France, Italy, and Turkey answered an onlin…
Augmenter le temps d’enseignement de l’éducation physique et sportive à l’école primaire: Sur quels facteurs peut-on agir
Réalisée auprès de 555 professeurs des écoles, cette étude avait pour objectif d’identifier des facteurs reliés au temps d’enseignement hebdomadaire de l’EPS, et de quantifier le poids respectif de onze facteurs liés au contexte d’enseignement, à la formation, et aux caractéristiques sociodémographiques et motivationnelles de l’enseignant. Les résultats montrent que plus de 55 % de l’échantillon rapportent un temps d’enseignement de l’EPS inférie…
The effect of an intervention to improve newly qualified teachers’ interpersonal style, students motivation and psychological need satisfaction in sport-based physical education
Climat motivationnel instauré par l’enseignant et implication des élèves en classe: L’état Des Recherches
Cet article a pour objectif de présenter l’état des recherches sur les pratiques enseignantes et leurs effets sur la motivation des élèves. Effectuée principalement dans le cadre de deux paradigmes théoriques – la théorie de la motivation à l’accomplissement et la théorie de l’autodétermination – la recension de ces travaux montre d’une part les conséquences positives d’un climat de maîtrise et les effets controversés d’un climat de compétition, …
