In this study, it is aimed to analyze attitudes of obese students in high school towards physical education according to some variables. 74 secondary education student, 45 of them are girls and 29 boys who studied at three different Anatolian High Schools in the city of Niğde in the 2016-2017 academic year, have been participated in this study. As data collection tool, Physical Education attitude scale for secondary education students developed by Güllü and Güçlü (2009) has been used and coefficient of consistence (Cronbach Alpha) is 0,94. SPSS 23.0 packaged software has been used for assesing the result. Kolmogorov – Smirnov Test have been done regarding whether the data showed normal distribution or not and Kurtosis and Skewness values have been studied. Independent Sample T Test has been used to test the mean difference significance belonging to two group independent variables in the study. One Way ANOVA Test has been used to test the mean differences significence when the number of groups is more than two. At the end of the study, all of the attitude scores belonging to variables have been found high and it has been established that obese high school students’ attitudes towards Physical Education show statictically significant difference, according to gender, in favor of boys (p<0,05). Accordingly, it has been determined that students’ cognitive attitudes acording to obesity level for Physical Education show difference in favor of second grade obese students (p<0,05) and no significent difference found in students’ affective and behavioural attitudes (p>0,05). It has been identified that high school students’ attitudes towards Physical Education show no statistically significant difference according to their calass level variable and time variable which they spent with their communication instruments (p>0,05) As a result, when considering obese students’ positive attitudes towards physical education and sports, in view of obtained findings, it is possible to say that physical education and sports may contribute to increase the participation of obese students and thus make them become healthy individuals.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu araştırmada, lise düzeyinde öğrenim gören obez öğrencilerin beden eğitimi dersine yönelik tutumlarının bazı değişkenlere göre incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında Niğde ilinde bulunan üç ayrı Anadolu Lisesi'nde öğrenim gören 45 kız ve 29 erkek olmak üzere toplam 74 lise öğrencisi katılmıştır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Güllü ve Güçlü (2009) tarafından geliştirilen "Ortaöğretim Öğrencileri İçin Beden Eğitimi Dersi Tutum Ölçeği Kullanılmış olup ölçeğin iç tutarlılık katsayısı 0.94 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 23.0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılım gösterip göstermediğine ilişkin Kolmogorov-Smirnov Testi yapılmış, Kurtosis ve Skewness değerleri incelenmiştir. Araştırmadaki iki gruplu bağımsız değişkenlere ait ortalama farkların anlamlılığını test etmek için parametrik hipotez testlerinden Independent Sample t testi kullanılmıştır. Grup sayısının ikiden fazla olduğu durumlarda gruplar arasındaki ortalama farklarının anlamlılığını test etmek için ise, One Way ANOVA testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonunda, değişkenlere ait tutum puanlarının hepsi yüksek bulunmuş olup, liselerde öğrenim gören obez öğrencilerin beden eğitimi dersine yönelik tutumlarının cinsiyete göre istatistiksel olarak erkekler lehine anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir (p<0.05). Benzer şekilde öğrencilerin beden eğitimi dersine yönelik obezite düzeyine göre bilişsel tutumlarının 2. sınıf obez öğrenciler lehine anlamlı farklılık gösterdiği belirlenmiş olup (p<0.05), duyuşsal ve davranışsal tutumlarında anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Öğrencilerin beden eğitimi dersine yönelik tutumlarının öğrenim gördükleri sınıf düzeyine ve iletişim araçları ile geçirdileri süre değişkenine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık göstermediği belirlenmiştir (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak, obez öğrecilerin beden eğitimi ve spor derslerine karşı tutumlarının olumlu olduğu göz önünde bulundurulduğunda elde edilen bulguların beden eğitimi ve spor derslerinin obez öğrencilerin spora katılımının arttırılması ve dolayısıyla onların sağlıklı bireyler olmalarında önemli düzeyde katkısının olabileceğini söylemek mümkündür

Portugal ranks fourth among countries with the highest rate of overweight population, considering that 67.6% of the Portuguese population over the age of 15 is overweight or obese. To our knowledge, limited studies have investigated students’ attitudes toward physical education in Portugal. Such research is necessary because it can provide valuable insights for policy and application in the curriculum development for physical education, which may eventually increase participation in physical and sports activities. This study analyzed students’ attitudes toward physical education (PE) according to sociodemographic variables, including grade level, socioeconomic status, and gender, and their participation in extracurricular sports activities and respective PE grades. The sample comprised 476 high school students (from the 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade levels) from five public schools located in Portugal. The Students’ Attitudes toward Physical Education Questionnaire was adapted and validated for use with Portuguese students as a two-factor model. Findings show that students generally have a moderately positive attitude toward PE. However, students’ positive attitudes tend to decrease throughout high school, which is particularly significant in the 9th grade. Furthermore, students’ attitudes are influenced by gender, extracurricular sports practice, and grades. These findings may help stakeholders reflect on how to frame PE in a more meaningful way to create a solid foundation for maintaining an active lifestyle throughout life. Implications for further research and practice are discussed.

O estudo é resultado de uma experiência de tematização do conteúdo “exercício físico e saúde”, desenvolvido por integrantes do PIBID em uma escola de educação profissional de ensino médio, localizada no município do Crato (CE). O objetivo do estudo foi descrever e analisar uma unidade didática de ensino e a relação ensino-aprendizagem levada a efeito com o conteúdo “exercício físico e saúde”. O relato de experiência, de natureza qualitativa e exploratória, foi pautado a partir de uma ação colaborativa entre professor da disciplina de educação física e acadêmicos bolsistas do PIBID. Como resultados, pudemos observar que há possibilidade de conjugar teoria e prática e envolver o aluno de maneira ativa no processo de ensino-aprendizagem. A demonstração das dificuldades dos alunos revelou a necessidade de adaptações relativas às exigências motoras que lhes são feitas, o que faz com que a intervenção pedagógica seja atrelada à leitura da realidade. Como conclusão, identificou-se que é possível conduzir um processo de intervenção pedagógica em educação física pautada na colaboração, compartilhamento de experiências, criticidade, indissociabilidade entre teoria e prática e noção de movimento humano para além dos aspectos biomecânicos.ABSTRACT. Didactic possibilities in physical education classes: the topic of “physical exercise and health” in high school. The study results from an experience on thematizing the topic “physical exercise and health”, as developed by members of the PIBID in a school which offers professional education in high school in the city of Crato, in Ceará, Brazil. The purpose of the study was to describe and analyze a Didactic Unit used for teaching as well as the teaching-learning relationship which was taken to class under the topic of “Physical Exercise and Health”. This is a report from a qualitative, exploratory in nature, experience grounded on a collaborative-like action involving the physical education teacher and the trainees participating in the PIBID project. There are possibilities in combining theory and practice and involving the high school students in an active way in the teaching-learning process. The demonstration of the students’ difficulties revealed the necessity of making adaptations regarding the motor demands requested from them, which makes it necessary to read the reality and the pedagogical intervention as complementary. It was identified that it is possible to conduct a pedagogical intervention process in physical education which is grounded on collaborating, on sharing experiences, on being critical, and on associating theory and practice and the notion of human movement going further than the bio mechanical aspects.
