| Description | The research categorises opinions of Czech Republic citizens on the educational content of physical education (PE) in primary education. The research was carried out at the end of 2008. The research involved 1795 respondents aged over 15 and was representative in terms of age, gender and regional citizenship of Czech Republic citizens. The Czech public prefers especially sports activities and compensatory and fitness exercises in physical education. As for the educational performance of PE teachers, respondents mostly appreciate patience when working with children, but are critical of PE classes as being physically over-demanding. Nevertheless, more than 40 % of respondents do not have any serious objections to teachers` work. The obtained findings inspire a range of concrete suggestions for improving the quality of work in primary schools as well as in teacher training of would-be PE teachers. |
