Description

This study examined developmental change of the achievement motivation for learning in physical education. Subjects were 10,055 elementary, junior high, and senior high school students. To assess individual differences of the achievement motivation for learning in physical education, the Achievement Motivation in Physical Education Test (AMPET) developed by Nishida was administered to the subjects. Concerning the positive aspects of the AMPET (learning strategy, overcoming obstacle, diligence and seriousness, competence of motor ability, and value of learning), the scores of boys and girls reduced gradually and the scores of boys were higher than those of girls. On the other hand, the scores on the negative aspects of the AMPET (anxiety about stress-causing situations and failure anxiety) of girls were higher than those of boys. The scores of junior high school pupils were relatively high in comparison with those of elementary and senior high school pupils.
