The purposes of these studies based the basic psychological needs and self-determination motivation in a secondary school physical education settings were to achieve three goals. The first study's goal was to develop the Korean basic psychological needs scale. The second one was to develop the Korean self-determination motivation scale. The last one was to analyze the relationship between the basic psychological needs and self-determination motivation.
In order to achieve validation of the first and second studies, 1,904 secondary school students of Busan metropolitan city were participated in these studies through stratified random sampling. Different analytical methods such as inductive content analysis, descriptive analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability analysis were conducted through PC using SPSS version 19.0 and AMOS version 19.0. A significance level of p<.05 was used for all statistical tests. The results of the first and second studies were as follows:
1. Development of the Korean Basic Psychological Needs Scale
First, a questionnaire that included 62 items and was considered students perception about the basic psychological needs in a secondary school physical education settings was made of open-ended questionnaire.
Second, the final version including 15 items of 3 factors(autonomy need, competence need, relatedness need) was composed for various analyzing processes.
Third, the suitability of 15 items of 3 factors extracted from the final version was verified.
2. Development of the Korean Self-Determination Motivation Scale

Second, the final version including 24 items of 6 factors(intrinsic motivation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, learning external regulation, situational external regulation, amotivation) was composed for various analyzing processes.

To achieve the purpose of the relationships of the basic psychological needs and self-determination motivation in the third study, 1,113 secondary school students of Busan metropolitan city participated in stratified random sampling. Different analytical methods such as MANOVA, correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis, and covariance structure analysis were conducted through PC using SPSS version 19.0 and AMOS version 19.0.

To condensate these results, if students satisfy the basic psychological needs in a physical education settings, they can be motivated and affected positively in physical education class. Also, students can consistently concentrate on physical education class and participate in exercise and sports actively.
