In this research the goal was to explore how physical education teachers, from disciplines adopting a teaching module affected students motivation in physical education classes. The study involved 145 elementary school students split into control groups. They went through an 8 week intervention with the experimental group taught using the teaching module and the control group using a curriculum. A pre-test was done 1 week before to ensure both groups had motivation levels. After the intervention a post-test was given. The study used a tool called the Elementary School Students Physical Education Learning Motivation Scale based on Self Determination Theory. A statistical analysis method called two way ANOVA was used to analyse the data. The results showed that students who received instruction, with the teaching module had motivation levels after eight weeks compared to those who received standard instruction. After analysing these findings it is determined that the design concepts of the physical education instruction module correspond, with the Self Determination Theory’s focus on autonomy, competence and relatedness. This module significantly boosts student’s drive, in physical education lessons indicating its potential to aid physical education instructors in enhancing their teaching effectiveness.
