    Background: In basketball, children’s main reason for playing is to havefun, whereas outcomes such as skill acquisition and long-termdevelopment are often perceived by adults as the main motive for children’s engagement in sport. However, no studies have yet examined whether the game outcome could influence motivational variables longitudinally over the course of a season. The novelty of the present study resides in the longitudinal exploration, the multilevel approach,and the analysis of motivational climate as a mediator variable between game outcome and enjoyment, perceived competence, and intention to be physically active. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze whether under-12 basketball players’ who won versus lost games had different perceptions of their enjoyment, perceived competence, and intention to be physically active throughout a season, considering motivational climate as a mediator. Method: The participants were 94 boys and two girls from eight basketball clubs (Mage = 9.72 years, SD = 1.70 years, age range = 9–11 years). The study followed a six months longitudinal design. The independent variable was the game outcome (win-loss). The dependent variables were enjoyment, perceived competence, and intention to be physically active. Motivational climate was a mediator variable. Data were collected at the end of each of the 56 games throughout 14 game days over a basketball formal season. Longitudinal multilevel regression analysis was conducted within player-level and between player-level with the repeated measures representing the game-to-game variability. Results: We found that at the within player level, motivational climate mediated the effect of game outcome as follows. On game days, when the game is won, players perceive the climate as more ego-related, which in turn reduced enjoyment and increased perceived competence. On game days, when the game is lost, players perceive the climate as more task-related, which in turn increased enjoyment, perceived competence, and intention to be physically active. Conclusion: Game outcomes did not directly affect players’ feelings, but motivational climate mediated the effect between game outcomes and motivational elements within players throughout a season. This study shows that the competitive nature of sport is not a deterrent to youth positive experiences provided adults minimize the emphasis of game outcomes over personal factors such as competence and enjoyment, through motivational climate.

    El análisis del discurso y los modelos mentales en el contexto operístico. Propuestas de análisis
    (2019-02-28) Cirett Galán, Diana Blanca
    Este artículo presenta un estudio de caso interdisciplinario cuyo objetivo principal es analizar los elementos participantes en la construcción discursiva de la identidad de siete cantantes de ópera en un Centro de Estudios Superiores del norte de México. La transferencia de conocimientos fue hecha por dos migrantes cubanos cualificados, bajo un macromodelo mental educativo alimentado por el paradigma de las escuelas italiana y rusa. La fusión de los esquemas educativos cubano y de la Universidad de Sonora propició un habitus operístico de alcance internacional inexistente hasta entonces en la región. La sistematización de resultados, realizada a través del Análisis del Discurso, permite la interpretación de la información obtenida en las entrevistas, más allá de su estructura, de sus relaciones pragmáticas y semánticas. También la Teoría de la Valoración facilitó evaluar el impacto de la transmisión de competencias, la motivación y los valores en los estudiantes, así como entender cómo el contexto moldea la identidad operística, y repercute en el desarrollo profesional. El estudio realizado señala una influencia positiva en los estudiantes que impacta directamente en el contexto cultural regional, por lo quela inclusión de docentes cualificados de otros países sugiere una mejoría del sistema educativo y cultural del destino de adopción.
