This fully resourced lesson pack covers Motivation and Achievement Motivation as specified in AQA A-Level PE Section 3.2.3 (Sport Psychology). Created and refined by a specialist PE teacher with 9 years’ AQA sixth-form experience.

Every slide is structured around AO1 (knowledge), AO2 (application to sport) and AO3 (analysis and evaluation), with embedded tasks, sport-specific examples and exam-style questions throughout.

WHAT’S INCLUDED (17 slides):

• Types of motivation: intrinsic (enjoyment, satisfaction, pride — most sustainable) vs extrinsic (trophies, money, recognition); tangible (medals, prize money) vs intangible (praise, applause) rewards
• Over-justification effect: excessive extrinsic rewards undermine intrinsic motivation — paying a child for every goal scored shifts motivation from enjoyment to reward; AO3 implications for youth sport
• Atkinson’s model of achievement motivation: Need to Achieve (Nach) — seeks challenge, persists after failure, performs under pressure; Need to Avoid Failure (Naf) — avoids moderate challenges, chooses extreme tasks to protect self-esteem
• Interaction of personality with situation: probability of success and incentive value; high Nach preference for 50/50 challenges — maximum incentive value with genuine challenge
• Nach vs Naf in practice: recognising Naf behaviour as fear-based avoidance rather than laziness; sport-specific examples
• Achievement goal theory: task (mastery) orientation — success defined by personal improvement compared to previous self; outcome (ego) orientation — success defined by beating others; why task orientation promotes resilience and long-term participation
• Strategies to develop approach (Nach) behaviours: set tasks at ~50% probability of success; use process and performance goals; praise effort and improvement over winning; create a positive error culture
• AO3 evaluation: how coaches build mastery climates; why achievement goal theory is powerful for youth and developmental sport
• Spot task: Naf tennis player avoiding similar-ability opponents — Atkinson and achievement goal theory analysis with coaching strategies
• Exam practice: 2-mark and 8-mark questions with full model answer (AO1/AO2/AO3)
• Active recall questions and stretch synoptic challenge

PERFECT FOR:
• Year 12 and Year 13 AQA A-Level PE lessons
• Consolidation and revision of motivation theory — including achievement motivation and goal orientation
• Cover lessons — fully self-contained with embedded tasks and model answers
