Abstract

The objective of the study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Task and Ego Orientation Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ) adapted to PE2, in an Ecuadorian context. Five hundred and eighty PE students aged 12 to 16 (M = 13.15; SD = 1.29) participated in the study. Factor analysis results confirmed the structure of the instrument obtained in previous studies. The questionnaire showed an acceptable internal consistency (αEgo = .86 y αTask = .80). The differences per gender indicated that boys show greater ego orientation than girls in line with existing literature. Results allow considering the Spanish version of TEOSQ adapted to PE a reliable and valid instrument to measure motivational orientation of students in an Ecuadorian context.
