The aim of this study is to analyze students’ affective reactions in competitive and non-competitive situations in physical education classes. The nature of this study is descriptive and utilizes a qualitative approach. The sample consisted of 43 sixth grade students, 26 girls and 17 boys, observed in three different situations. The results demonstrated that class organization based on a methodology that prizes competition leads to a predominance of excluding reactions among students.
