About this trial
This study presents the protocol for a non-randomized controlled trial evaluating a motivational-based training program for pre-service Physical Education teachers. The experimental group will participate in a 14-hour training program based on Self-Determination Theory and the circumplex model. The program consists of theoretical and practical training to foster motivating teaching styles and minimize demotivating ones. The control group will follow the standard curriculum of the Master's in Physical Education Teacher Education program without exposure to the specific intervention.

Motivational Training Program
BehavioralThis study presents the protocol for a non-randomized controlled trial evaluating a motivational-based training program for pre-service Physical Education teachers, grounded in Self-Determination Theory and the circumplex model. The program, embedded in a Master's in Physical Education Teacher Education, consists of theoretical and practical training to foster motivating teaching styles and minimize demotivating ones. The study will involve at least 38 pre-service teachers, divided into an experimental group (n = 19) and a control group (n = 19). The experimental group will participate in a 14-hour training program combining theoretical and practical components. The control group will follow the standard Physical Education Teacher Education curriculum.
