THE WAY OF STIMULATING THE INTRINSIC MOTIVATION AND CREATIVITY INSIDE THE FAMILY OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

Abstract

Forming physical education and sports specialists is a complex process that requires,
firstly, knowing the students, and secondly, designing and conducting the activity in concordance
with its characteristics. This paper represents a study that aimed to know the way in which the
students are treated inside their families, from a point of view of the intrinsic motivation and
creativity. For this reason we used the intrinsic motivation and creativity questionnaire (Teresa
Amabile, 1989, page 229-233), during the month of November 2009. The results emphasized the
fact that 73.4% of the students are encouraged and supported by their families in forming an
intrinsic motivation and creativity, whereas 26.6 % are not. One student out of the 20 has no
constructive support from his family, whereas 3 students get very much support and are very
encouraged by their families. Based on the students' knowledge, there is the possibility to
continuously stimulating the creativity, differentiated, during the educational process.
