Journal Title: CITIUS ALTIUS FORTIUS - JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND SPORT - Year 2011, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Since the classes are mixed in Romania but the lessons of physical education are still practicing by using separated groups for male and female, especially for team sports (e.g. football, handball, etc) where boys are playing against boys and girls against girls, the purpose of this study is to identify and combat gender stereotypes by using games and plays for mixed group in physical education activity. Also, using the mix group in the physical activity during all the school period will be a main method of learning civic rules, the respect of difference and will encourage the process of socialization between boys and girls. Methods The experiment was conducted between 15October 2009 to 15 May 2010 by a group of 20 students (13 girls and 7 boys) at the age of 13 (VII grade in Romanian system) using the sociometrical method. Results and discussion If the initial testing shows that the choice of partner is primarily based on gender, the results made after final testing (after 7 months of work carried out by groups combined) reveals that the partner’s choice is made according to sporting skills and physical development. Conclusions The conclusions highlight the importance of early work on mixed groups from the age of 9. The idea is to combat the stereotypes in so called "masculine" or "feminine" sports and to emphasize the respect for equality and fairness between students according to individual possibilities
