Abstract
The aim of the study is to analyze whether the teaching style in Physical and Sport Education (PSE) influences the involvement of students in learning. The theory that non-interference, democratic and authoritarian styles of teaching at different times in the same physical and sport education lessons promotes student engagement in the building of motor skills. Our study took place in Brazzaville in public grammar school. A sample of 20 Physical and sport education teachers and 321 grade 4 and 3 students took part in the experiment. A questionnaire was distributed to students to determine the causes of their commitment to the teacher’s perception of the personality, the representations of the physical and sport education discipline and the teaching styles used by the teacher similarly, another questionnaire prepared was intended for teachers to analyze learning situations and to interpret teachers’ behaviours. The results show that 52% of pupils are involved in “learning and progress” learning with the authoritarian style, 58% of pupils are involved in learning “maintain order in physical and sport education” with the authoritarian style, against 40% of students are involved in learning to “get involved” with the non-interference style and 53% of students are involved in learning to “have fun” with the democratic style. In conclusion, the physical and sport education teachers favor much more the authoritarian style during the lessons of physical and sport education, in the Grammar schools of Brazzaville.

Summary
Physical and Sport Education (PSE) is a teaching discipline. It generates a set of knowledge constituted in a transmissible form for schooling, in the same way as the other so-called seated disciplines. For Durand (1996), the PSE is a particular discipline that “puts the clean body into play”. In other words, his teaching requires a commitment of students in the construction of learning, a representation of the discipline and a style of teaching. Teaching style is one way for teachers to set skills and conduct the physical and sport education lesson. There is a mismatch between the representations of today’s students and the teaching styles of “yesterday”
