Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of teachers’ autonomy support and peer relatedness support on the grit and academic engagement of students in PE classes. For this purpose, the investigator found a population in middle and high school students in Gyeonggi Province and selected 350 students through non-probability sampling. Collected data was put to multiple regression analysis with the PASW Ver 18.0 statistical program. The findings were as follows: First, teachers’ autonomy support and peer relatedness support had statistically significant effects on the grit(consistency of efforts) of students in PE classes. Teachers’ peer relatedness support had no significant effects on their grit(consistency of interest); secondly, students’ grit for PE classes had statistically significant impacts on their academic engagement, but consistency of interest, a subfactor of grit, had no significant impacts on it; and finally, teachers’ autonomy support and peer relatedness support had statistically significant influences on the academic engagement of students in PE classes.
