The study of optimal best practice, coinciding with a person's 'motivational mindset', is an interesting research inquiry for development. Optimal best practice, in brief, relates to the maximization of a person's state of functioning (e.g., cognitive functioning). Moreover, the nature of optimal best practice is positive and motivational, helping individuals to flourish in different courses of action (e.g., academic performance at school). Several research undertakings, non-experimental in design, have provided clear and consistent evidence to substantiate the existing viewpoints and perspectives of optimal best practice. Our proposed investigation, which involved physical education pre-service teacher students from Spain (N = 681), explored one notable focus of inquiry-namely, the formation of optimal best practice and its predictive and explanatory account on future adaptive outcomes. As such, using Likert-scale measures and path analysis techniques, we were able to identify two associative patterns: achievement of optimal best practice is positively accounted for by academic self-concept, optimism, and current best practice and, in contrast, negatively accounted for by pessimism; and that optimal best practice could act as a determinant of academic engagement for effective learning. Such associations are significant, providing relevant information for different teaching and research purposes.
最佳实践的研究与一个人的“动机心态”相吻合，这是一个有趣的研究探索。最佳实践，简而言之，涉及到最大化一个人的功能状态（例如，认知功能）。此外，最佳实践的性质是积极和激励性的，有助于个人在不同的行动过程中茁壮成长（例如，在学校的学业成绩）。几项非实验性的研究为最佳实践的现有观点和观点提供了明确和一致的证据。我们的研究涉及来自西班牙的体育教育职前教师学生（N=681），探索了一个值得注意的研究焦点——即最佳实践的形成及其对未来适应性结果的预测和解释性说明。因此，我们使用李克特量表测量和路径分析技术，确定了两种关联模式：最佳实践的实现可以通过学术自我概念、乐观主义和当前最佳实践来解释，而悲观主义则与之相反；最佳实践可以作为学术参与的决定因素，促进有效的学习。这些关联是重要的，为不同的教学和研究目的提供了相关信息。
