The boys become very
over aroused and excited
and this caused many of
them to panic, run
around and therefore
became disorganised
When the boys were grouped
together they increased their
arousal levels. During their first
game they experienced success
and were motivated. The boys
did not discuss tactics or
strategies to experience success
but showed a good level of skill.
Boys continued to play
after the C.T had
stopped the game in an
attempt to win
Boys lacked in any
organisation and
occasionally bumped
into each other and did
not use the space.
The boys cheered and jumped up when they won
The boys complained that the girls had an
unfair advantage because they had more
people on their team. This showed their
level of motivation and drive to win by
ensuring that the game was fair.
Some of the
boys sulked and
got upset after
they had lost the
second game
Girls
The HA girls
continued to
be motivated
The HA girls supported the LA
and MA pupils more and
encouraged techniques so they
were more likely to experience
success
The girls experienced success during the second game
Girls were more
motivated when
stickers and team
points were
introduced after the
first game, and
consequently won the
second game
Occasionally
pairs of girls
went off
together and
lost
motivation
The girls appeared to enjoy working in same sex groupings
The girls
organised
themselves in a
better manner,
they used
communication
to speak with
each other.
The girls smiled
and cheered when
they won the
second game
