  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: EXPERIENCES OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH P.E. TEACHERS IN SLOVAKIA

Authors in their scientific article deal with finding out, using a questionnaire, experiences of secondary school students with their physical education and sport teachers. In the focus of attention stand opinions of adolescents on various qualities of their teacher, such as whether he/she speaks with them openly, listens to them carefully, gives them a chance to choose the content of education, understands the motifs of behaviour, believes in students ability to be successful at P.E. lessons, trusts the students, encourages them, shows respect for them, copes with human emotions, shows empathy, etc. The results showed statistically significant differences in answers between genders in 7 out of 15 items. Students presented that P.E. teacher mostly gives them a chance to choose the content of education, understands them and students are able to speak to the teacher openly. The teacher accepts them and believes in their success. However, almost half of boys stated that the teacher does not encourage them. 57.2% boys and 44.9% girls answered that their teacher shows trust in them. 45.5% boys think that their teacher listens carefully to them, while girls showed neutral attitude. 51% boys and 48.1% girls wrote that their teacher is able to cope with human emotions and shows empathy to them. Generally speaking, the research proved that P.E. teachers are quite popular persons and can motivate and encourage students.

Keywords: opinions of students, physical education, P.E. teacher, empathy, gender differences.
