The article presents results from a research study about Perception of the Motivational environment with in Physical Education highschool students belonging to Provincia de Ñuble, Bío-Bío Region, Chile. Thestudy examines the importance of building favorable habits and attitudes towards physical activities as stated in current debates related to quality of education, focusing the discussion on students' perception about Phys Ed and its relation with present and future sport habits. To carry out this study, we defined a stratified sample composed of two high school groups, who were applied the Spanish version of PMCSQ-2 instrument (Balaguer, Guivernau y Duda 1997; Sánchez-Oliva, Leo, Sánchez, Alonso y García-Calvo2010; Cervelló y Santos-Rosa 2000; Cervelló, Moreno, Del Villar y Reina 2007, originally designed and validated in English by Newton y Duda, 1993 y Newton, Duda, Yin 2000). The main findings show that, in general, the student subjects greatly expressed their satisfaction for Phys Ed sessions. We can infer that they perceived teaching practice as something that both stimulates collaborative learning and values their efforts, rather than as a 'punishment' or reprimand for their errors, or reinforcement of competitive values. Notwithstanding, we did not find significant related gender differences.
