AB It seems important to consider students’ attitudes towards physical education (PE), and the way they learnsports. The present study examines students’ perceptions of motivation and achievement in PE after experiencing threeconsecutive sport units. Two hundred and thirty seven students from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade in a high schoolin Burgos (Spain) and two teachers agreed to participate. They were divided into two groups in order to compare twoinstructional approaches. The experimental group (A), 128 students, experienced Teaching Games for Understanding(TGfU), while the control group (B), 109 students, experienced a technical-traditional approach. Each group was taughtby a different teacher. The study followed a mixed-method research design with quantitative (questionnaire) andqualitative (interview) data. Results revealed that group A showed greater motivation and achievement in PE thangroup B. Significant differences were found in achievement. Participants with better academic results in group A weremore positive in sport participation. Meanwhile, students who practiced more extracurricular sports in group B weremore actively involved in sport. Teachers disagreed greatly on the way sport should be taught in PE.
