Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to assess the effect of a Sport Education teaching unit in Physical Education on sportsmanship and habitual physical activity levels in secondary education students. A total of 114 students (62 boys and 52 girls) from four classes (two from second degree and two from the fourth degree) of compulsory secondary education were randomly assigned by classes to the Traditional group (methodology based on direct instruction) or the Sport Education group (Sport Education model). Both groups participated in 12 sessions of Physical Education (two sessions per week). The Multilevel Linear Model results showed that the Sport Education program improved the participation dimension in the students' sportsmanship. However, there were no significant differences in the rest of the dimensions of sportsmanship nor on the students' habitual physical activity levels. In conclusion, the Sports Education Model improves the students' willingness to participate in sports competitions, but it did not improve the rest of the dimensions of sportsmanship or the students' physical activity levels.
