Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyse the effect of a didactic application of corporal expression (Body expression) on goal orientations and basic psychological needs in primary school students in Physical Education lessons. 73 Physical Education students (39 girls and 34 boys) aged between 9 and 12 years (4th PRI, n = 24; 5th PRI, n = 23; and 6th PRI, n = 26), belonging to a one-line State school of Education Primary participated in this study. A specific didactic intervention was carried out for the development of body expression during seven lessons of 50 minutes, in which support was given to autonomy, teamwork and creativity of the students. The motivational climate (POSQ) and basic psychological needs (BPNES) of all the students were evaluated. The results indicate a significant increase in the entire sample in the dependent variables: autonomy (p <0.001) and competence (p = 0.021) after the intervention. In girls, all basic psychological needs increased significantly its value after the intervention. There was no effect on the motivational climate(atmosphere) except in the sixth grade of primary education. Therefore, the development of body expression presents a series of benefits for the psychological well-being in students, especially in girls.
