The purpose of this synthesis project is to examine teaching strategies and determine which specific strategies are best for motivating students in physical education. Previous research has indicated low levels of student motivation through traditional teaching strategies. The studies in the critical mass compare student motivation from these traditional teaching methods to non-traditional strategies with an emphasis on self-determination. Self-Determination Theory was the main basis in determining motivation throughout the studies in the critical mass. The Cooperative Learning, Sport Education Model, Teaching Games for Understanding and the Constraints-Led Approach strategies are all non-traditional teaching methods examined in this synthesis. All analysis concluded that these non-traditional approaches aid in student motivation and raise the three main components of self-determination: autonomy, relatedness, and competence.
