One of the most significant factors of school education is motivation and motivating. In this study, motivation is not primarily looked at as a psychological phenomenon but much rather as a question of learning physical education or learning as a whole process at school. Applying the self-motivation questionnaires used in psychological tests we endeavour to find answers to our hypotheses which state that student-motivating factors in the process of the acquisition of physical education at school such as performance, determination, tenacity, reliability, love of comfort, a desire to relax, search for distraction or taking no risk are present to a large extent and are interrelated. Our further hypothesis is whether the motivational factors, mentioned above, are subject to gender as well as age. The sample tested comprised 3941 students, comprising 2840 boys and girls from Hungary and 1101 boys and girls from Transylvania. The method of a cross-sectional design was based on a survey by employing questionnaires. This self-report measures on motivation consisted of 36 questions, by which subjects were assessed on a five-point Likert-scale. Our test hypotheses have been validated in the case of both Hungarian and Transylvanian students because during the process of acquiring physical education at school, a dominant role is played by the factors examined by us and they are interrelated. In addition, motivating factors playing a significant role in physical education classes manifest themselves typically in relation to gender and age.
