Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between learning physical education competence, teachers´ competence and students' motivation in quarantine. A primary goal of physical education is to develop competence in physically literate individuals with the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary for a physically active lifestyle. Guided by the teachers´ competence and expectancy-value and interest motivation theories. Method: 686 high school students (297 male and 390 women) from 17 Spanish regions of different social classes and level of instruction, provided data on expectancy beliefs and perceived knowledge of learning competence of physical education, intrinsic motivation, and teachers’ competence. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a simultaneous multiple regression model. To determine the best predictor of each subscale of the learning competence of physical education four parallel mediation models were examined. The mediation models were conducted to test “simultaneous mediation by multiple variables” Results: It was found that teacher competence was a significant predictor of knowledge transference (b = .42, s.e.= .02, p < .001), mediated by psychological needs competence, autonomy, and relatedness. The standardized regression coefficient for this path is .42. The total indirect effect was significant (.17, CI [.13, .21]). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that teacher competence was a significant predictor of learning physical education competence mediated by psychological needs competence. Students' beliefs about success in physical education have a limited influence on the teachers´ competence and knowing how to attend to the basic psychological needs of the students, in confinement.
