Abstract
This study was conducted to explore physical education students’ intrinsic motivation and clarify the influence mechanism of cooperative learning methods on learning intrinsic motivation through meta-analysis. In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) criteria, we screened literature from the years 2000–2020. The included literature underwent bias analysis on the basis of the five criteria proposed herein. Data were extracted and summarized from the included literature to analyze the causality before and after cooperative learning intervention. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine principal factors affecting physical education students’ learning intrinsic motivation. Simultaneously, the influencing mechanism of cooperative learning on physical education students’ intrinsic motivation was clarified. Results revealed that intrinsic motivation had a high total effect amount. In the experimental group, only three documents determined the significant influence of cooperative learning on physical education students’ intrinsic motivation. Moreover, the time and age differences needed to be considered thoroughly during the intervention. Therefore, cooperative learning intervention can improve physical education students’ intrinsic motivation significantly, and meta-analysis provided a theoretical foundation for applying cooperative learning to the teaching of physical education majors.

Summary
Physical education motivation refers to the internal psychological motivation that causes students to frequently participate in physical education learning and exercises [1]. Cooperative learning interventions in different educational environments prove that cooperative learning will have a positive effect on motor skills, social skills, cognitive understanding, and the emotion of sports students. In this sense, this teaching model may be a useful teaching strategy to improve intrinsic motivation because it can be associated with the self-determination theory to satisfy students’ basic psychological needs. Studying the influences of cooperative learning on intrinsic motivation has become an urgent problem in the teaching of physical education majors. The results can provide a theoretical foundation for the teaching of physical education majors
