Résumé En

Based on self-determination theory, this study examines the relations between teachers' perception of classes' engagement, their motivating teaching practices, and students' motivation. Fifty-two physical education (PE) teachers and their 1 040 students from 52 classes participated in this study. Teachers' perception of classes' engagement was selfreported one week before their motivating teaching practices were observed. At the end of the observed lesson, students completed a questionnaire assessing their situational motivation toward PE. Results indicated that teachers' perception of class engagement predicted different dimensions of students' self-determined motivation, and that these relations were fully mediated by teachers' behaviors. More specifically, the more teachers reported high scores in class engagement, the more they displayed need-supportive behaviors that were, in turn, related to positive students' motivational outcomes. These results suggest that teachers' perception of class engagement could exacerbate motivational differences between classes.
