Students’ concerns during cooperative versus competitive learning tasks in badminton : a case study
This paper presents an analysis of French college students’ concerns related to the cooperative versus competitive structure of badminton learning tasks in physical education. It was carried out within the theoretical and methodological framework of the course of action. The data collection and analysis focused on the activity of two students. Results are presented and discussed following two themes : a) the relations between students’ concerns and task structures, and b) the regulatory mechanisms of students’ concern dynamics during these tasks. These results suggest both new directions for future research and original pedagogical perspectives.
