This study sought to examine the effect of a Sport Education season on the technical learning of four swimming strokes and the perceived motivational climate. Twenty-two young swimmers from a sport club participated in 16 training sessions organized around the key principles of Sport Education. Experts assessed technical learning from video analysis, and the swimmers and their coaches also completed self-assessments. Motivational climate was analysed through the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2). The results indicated that regardless of performance level (sampling or specializing) and gender, the swimmers significantly improved their technical learning from pre-test to post-test. In addition, all participants reported statistically significant improvements in the task-oriented motivational climate. It was concluded that the intervention program based on Sport Education had a positive impact on improvement of swimming skill, and a more optimal motivational climate.

Resumen

Este estudio trata de examinar el efecto de una intervención basada en el modelo de Educación Deportiva sobre el aprendizaje técnico de los cuatro estilos de natación y el clima motivacional percibido. Veintidós jóvenes nadadores federados de un club deportivo participaron en 16 sesiones de entrenamiento basadas en las principales premisas de la Educación Deportiva. Los expertos valoraron el aprendizaje técnico mediante el análisis de grabaciones de vídeo, y los nadadores y sus entrenadores también completaron hojas de observación. El clima motivacional fue analizado con el Cuestionario del Clima Motivacional Percibido en el Deporte-2 (PMCSQ-2). Los resultados indicaron que, independientemente del nivel de rendimiento (iniciación o especializados) y el género, los nadadores mejoraron significativamente su aprendizaje técnico de pre-test a post-test. Además, todos los sujetos lograron mejoras estadísticamente significativas en el clima motivacional orientado a la tarea. Se concluyó que el programa de intervención basado en la Educación Deportiva tuvo un impacto positivo en la mejora técnica de los estilos de natación, y en el clima motivacional.
