abstract = {Grounded in Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study aims to examine whether the
effects of a hybrid Sport Education (SE)/Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) a volleyball
teaching unit were equally effective on a set of SDT-related variables according to students’ initial
motivations. A pre-experimental pre-/post-test design without a control group was conducted
in a volleyball teaching unit in Physical Education. A final sample of 49 students (M = 15.50,
SD = 0.57), in their fourth year of secondary education, participated in a hybrid SE/TGfU volleyball
teaching unit composed of 10 lessons. The structure of this unit was designed according to the
characteristics of an SE model, while learning tasks were designed using the TGfU model. Different
validated questionnaires on basic psychological need (BPN) support and satisfaction, novelty and
variety satisfaction, motivation, and intention to be physically active were completed by students.
Three different profiles with different Relative Autonomy Index (RAI) levels (i.e., “high”, “moderate”,
and “low”) were identified through cluster analysis before starting the intervention. Although the
SE/TGfU of a volleyball teaching unit were effective in improving SDT-related variables in the three
profiles identified, a large effect size was observed in profiles with a “moderate” or “low” RAI.
The hybridization of these two pedagogical models could be a tool for improving motivational
outcomes in students who are less motivated in Physical Education lessons.},
