- Motivational Climate Sport Youth Scale: Measurement invariance across gender and five different sportsPublication . Monteiro, Diogo; Borrego, Carla Chicau; Silva, Carlos Manuel Marques; Moutão, João; Marinho, Daniel; Cid, LuisThe aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Motivational Climate Sport Youth Scale (MCSYSp) and invariance across gender and different sports (swimming, soccer, handball, basketball, futsal). A total of 4,569 athletes (3,053 males, 1,516 females) from soccer (1,098), swimming (1,049), basketball (1,754), futsal (340), and handball (328) participated in this study, with ages between 10 and 20 years (M = 15.13; SD = 1.95). The results show that the original model (two factors/12 items) did not adjust to the data in a satisfactory way; therefore, it was necessary to change the model by removing four items (two from each factor). Subsequently, the model adjusted to the data in a satisfactory way (χ² = 499.84; df = 19; χ²/df = 26.30; p < .001; SRMR = .037; TLI = .923; CFI = .948; RMSEA = .074; IC90% .069–.080) and was invariant by gender and team sports (soccer, handball, basketball, futsal) (∆CFI≤.01); however, it was not invariant between swimming and team sports (soccer, handball, basketball, futsal) (∆CFI ≥ .01). In conclusion, the MCSYSp (two factors/eight items) is a valid and reliable choice that is transversal not only to gender, but also to the different studied team sports to measure the perception of the motivational climate in athletes. Future studies can research more deeply the invariance analysis between individual sports to better understand the invariance of the model between individual and team sports.
- Desenvolvimento e validação de um questionário de avaliação da satisfação dos alunos com os docentes e a unidade curricular (SADUC)Publication . Cid, Luis; Vitorino, Anabela; Borrego, Carla Chicau; MOUTÃO, JOÃO; Bento, TeresaO objetivo principal deste trabalho foi a validação de um questionário de avaliação da Satisfação dos Alunos com o Docente e a Unidade Curricular, desenvolvido como alternativa de medida de um dos parâmetros da avaliação de desempenho docente, determinando as suas qualidades psicométricas iniciais, com recurso a uma análise fatorial exploratória e confirmatória. Participaram neste estudo, de forma anónima, 216 alunos dos cursos da ESDRM-IPS e o instrumento utilizado, desenvolvido especificamente para o efeito, é constituído por 3 fatores e 15 itens, aos quais se responde numa escala de Likert de 7 níveis. Os resultados principais revelaram qualidades psicométricas iniciais bastante promissoras, quer de validade do construto, quer de fiabilidade, embora a análise dos parâmetros individuais nos indique alguma redundância subjacente a determinados itens, o que nos sugere a hipótese de aglomeração dos mesmos. No entanto, podemos concluir que este questionário poderá ser utilizado com um elevado grau de confiança, na avaliação da satisfação dos alunos com os docentes e as unidades curriculares.- The main purpose of this study was to validate a questionnaire that evaluates students´ satisfaction with their teacher and with the curricular unit. This questionnaire was developed as an alternative measurement method of the teacher´s performance, determining his initial psychometric qualities, and using an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. 216 students of the ESDRM-IPS participated in this study, anonymously. The questionnaire, developed specifically for this purpose, included three factors and 15 items, where answers were given in a seven level Likert scale. The main results showed a very promising initial psychometric qualities, whether considering the construct validity or reliability scores, however the analysis of the individual parameters indicated some redundancy underlying certain items, which suggests the possibility of clustering. Nevertheless, we conclude that this questionnaire can be used with a high degree of confidence to measure students´ satisfaction with teachers and with the curricular units.
- Motivational determinants of physical education grades and the intention to practice sport in the futurePublication . Cid, Luis; Pires, Ana; Borrego, Carla Chicau; Duarte-Mendes, Pedro; Teixeira, Diogo S.; Moutão, João; Monteiro, DiogoSelf-Determination Theory (SDT) is amongst motivational frameworks the most popular and contemporary approach to human motivation, being applied in the last decades in several domains, including sport, exercise and physical education (PE). Additionally, Achievement Goal Theory (AGT) has presented evidence of how contextual factors may influence student's behavior in this particular context. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the motivational climate created by the teacher in the classroom, students' satisfaction of Basic Psychological Needs (BPN), and how their behavioral regulation could explain PE grades and intention to practice sports in the future.
