Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of the organisational model used to teach the subject of Outdoor Activities on the satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs in university students. For this purpose, four models were designed and each of them was applied to a group of the course. The sample consisted of 125 students. Data collection was carried out at the beginning and end of the course using the Basic Psychological Needs in Physical Education Scale adapted to the university context. Results showed that, after the intervention, there was a statistically significant interaction between the organisational model and time on subscales of autonomy (p = .006), competence (p = .002), relatedness (p = .049) and on total scale score (p = .003). The intensive-continuous model had the largest significant effects on subscales of autonomy (p = .044) and competence (p < .001) and on total score (p = .007). It was concluded that an organisational model based on education in direct and continuous contact with nature contributes to higher Basic Psychological Needs satisfaction.
