Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 43
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to explore motivation in school physical education (PE), barriers and demotivation factors that influence student’s participation in PE. The participants of the study were (n = 305) kosovan students (155 boys, 150 girls), 15.5 years at grade10 and 11 of secondary high schools. Results of the study indicate that adolescents showed lack of enthusiasm for a stereotypical activities and lack of motivation. Students were more likely to report two main barriers (a) Institutional related barriers to participation in school Physical education (PE) such as ;the lack of facilities and equipment (Gym and sport requisites), lower priority given to PE by schools, traditional PE curriculum not flexible enough to meet different student’s needs and (b) PE teacher related barriers; low levels of confidence and competence in teaching PE, being unable to provide safely planned and structured lessons, lack of teacher support, PE uniforms, outdated curriculum focusing mostly on team sports rather than overall fitness by giving more importance to winning than to participation. Often or most of the times teachers use “direct instruction” to introduce a new movement or activity, which has a lack of student involvement, group work, opportunities to explore, etc
