Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD) is considered one of the most frequent child and youth psychiatric disorder all over the world. Researchers observed that children with ADHD had lower performance in some aspects of motor skills and they are less successful in sporting events compared to the normative data. Sports can help teach crucial social skills to healthy emotional development, but children with ADHD have difficulty in sport settings in a numerous aspects. When children exhibit ADHD symptoms in school, teachers are often the first who recognize the problems. Teachers play a key role in classification decisions in the intervention process in the classroom or in the P.E. lesson. ADHD has also become a relevant educational issue, so according to us, it is important what future P.E. teachers know about ADHD? The purpose of this study was to assess Physical Education Teacher Education students’ knowledge and experience on ADHD and the integration of ADHD students in school setting. Hungarian (n=125) and Polish (n=211) junior and senior PETE students filled out a closed ended questionnaire at two major institutes in Hungary and Poland (SU-AWF). Although most of the students have already heard the term hyperactivity, a half of both said that they had no specific information about ADHD during their PETE courses. Beside lack of information, most participants believed that ADHD students could take part in the regular PE lesson, but they did not know how. They think it is important to learn about ADHD during university studies. Since a growing number of public school teachers have to face issues relating ADHD in some way in these countries, it is important to include these issues in their PETE programs. Our opinion is to worth teaching some information about special educational needs (SEN) including ADHD, integration and some other practical and pedagogical methods during university studies.
