Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 25, Issue 69
Abstract
Study aim. The aim of the study is to diagnose the attitudes of Bavarian high school students towards physical education classes, taking their environmental conditions and gender into account.Material and methods. The study was conducted in 2015 among a group of 412 people – 14–15-year old students of secondary schools in Bavaria. In this group, there were 102 boys and 112 girls – residents of a big city (population over 500 thousand) and 93 boys and 105 girls - residents of a small town (population 14 thousand). In the study, we used the semantic differential attitude research questionnaire [1], modified by the author of this work. The aim of this study was to examine the severity of selected attitudes.Results and conclusions. The studied youth evidenced positive attitudes towards physical education classes. They were rated as good, pleasant, interesting and successful. The gender of the subject is differentiated by the severity of attitudes towards physical education classes. The boys assess physical education classes as more pleasant and relaxing, lighter and fairer, while girls as more demanding. For young people from a big city, physical education classes are more interesting, whereas for male and female students from a small town, these activities are much lighter. For the other attitudes, no statistically significant differences were noted.
