Abstract: Motivation has become an increasing concern in daily life, particularly for those who are involved in the mobilisation of others to act. Such concern derives from the consequences attributed to motivation or lack of motivation as perceived by individuals. People are not characterized by persistent, proactive and positive behaviours and thinking (Ryan & Deci, 2000), hence professionals like educators, managers or health care providers seek help from research to get valuable information designed to solve their clients’ motivation problems. Motivation becomes the centre of discussion whenever it seems to be lacking. Such conditions may become problematic for practitioners. In physical education, for example, lack of motivation was identified as a factor explaining 12.8% of the variance in the anxiety of beginning, inexperienced teachers (Capel, 1983). In a French journal dedicated to physical education teachers, 14% of the papers reviewed by Bertone and Meard (1999) focused on the pupils’ motivation, underlining its part among the PE teachers’ concerns. In the teaching situation, developing pupils’ motivation is now usually integrated into the general objectives of the school, as showed by the curriculum of the Belgian French speaking Community (Ministere de l’Education, 1996). That objective is, on one hand, dedicated to fight drop out and pupils’ failure, and on the other, to instigate students to acquire competencies. The importance of the students’ motivation was first highlighted by process -product research. Bloom (1979) showed that affect accounted for 20-25% of the achievement variance in the school environment. In physical education, the role of aff ective variables was particularly well underlined in an experimental teaching unit. De Knop (1983) showed that the pupils’ motivation was higher among those subjects who obtained greater gains in tennis skills. More recently, the students’ cognitive processes and their personal affective characteristics have been identified as mediating variables for the effectiveness of the teaching- learning process (Doyle, 1988). In physical education, Lee and Solmon (1992) pointed out to the role of the pupils’ willingness to actively participate and to process the information provided by the teacher.
