ABSTRACT
This study analyzed the students’ perception regarding support for the autonomy of teachers in physical education classes (n = 100). We used the instrument Learning Climate Questionnaire (LCQ). For comparisons between the pre and post-test was used Wilcoxon test, and between groups the Kruskal Wallis test, followed by multiple comparisons of medians (p≤0.05). The results showed that the levels of support for autonomy have not changed during the lessons, especially in females (experimental group). In conclusion: the intervention program was not enough to introduce changes in the perception of students regarding support to the autonomy offered by teachers.
