Longitudinal Relationships Between Teacher- and Peer-Initiated Task-Involving Climate and Task Orientation in Middle School Physical Education

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

In middle school physical education, peer-initiated task-involving climate positively influences students' subsequent task orientation, whereas students' initial task orientation positively influences their subsequent perception of teacher-initiated task-involving climate. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Key Points

This study investigates the longitudinal relationship between task-involving motivation climates initiated by teachers and peers and students' task orientation in middle school physical education.
Data collected from 247 middle school students in physical education classes in Seoul, South Korea.
Utilized SPSS 21.0 and Mplus 8.11 for analysis, including confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis.
Applied cross-lagged model to analyze longitudinal relationships between variables.
At the beginning of the semester (T1), teacher-initial task-involving climate did not significantly influence students' task orientation at the end of the semester (T2).
Peer-initial task-involving climate at T1 positively influenced task orientation at T2.
Task orientation at T1 positively impacted teacher-initial task-involving climate at T2, while peer influence at T2 showed no significant effect.

Implication

Longitudinal study evaluates the influence of teacher and peer motivation on task orientation in middle school physical education, suggesting dynamic interactions over time.
