Exploring Strategies for Gender Equality Physical Education Classes in Elementary Schools

The study aimed at exploring the implementation of physical education (PE) teaching during the Covid 19 Pandemic at elementary schools of sub-district of Balung, Jember, Indonesia. This descriptive research which follows the quantitative approach implemented the survey method using one shot case study. The samples participating in the study are 12 SE teachers. In order to gather the data, a questionnaire was distributed to the participants online through Google Form, containing 10 items. The data obtained were analyzed in descriptive quantitative through percentage. The findings indicate that all participants (100%) conduct the teaching and learning, where 50% of them delivered the teaching in online learning and 58% confirmed that the learning adheres to the lesson plans. Moreover, 67% of the participants informed that the learning materials are in the same order as stated in the lesson plans, 67% used WhatsApp groups as their teaching media, 67% of the participants informed that their students were enthusiastic and participated actively in the class, 50% have cooperated with their students’ parents for supporting learning, 67% of them stated the assessment was based on submitted exams and tasks, 58% stated that the assessment was less effective. Meanwhile, the analysis of learning indicators reveal that generally 41% of the participants claim difficulties in accessing good Internet connection, and 42% of the participants’ students could not afford smartphones for their learning and thus could not submit their tasks. Briefly the Covid 19 pandemic does not hamper the conduct of teaching and learning though it is now delivered online, however, in general the study found that the teaching and learning is less effective; therefore, more attention needs to be paid to students especially with their obstacles in using the learning media and accessing proper Internet connection.

Physical education facilities and infrastructure is one of the elements supporting the success of physical education learning. The need for physical education learning facilities and infrastructure is very vital, meaning that physical education must use facilities and infrastructure according to needs. In fact, it was found that physical education learning facilities and infrastructure were adequate and tended to be lacking. Physical education facilities are media or teaching aids in physical education. The infrastructure itself is divided into two, namely infrastructure or tools and infrastructure or facilities. Ideally, this tool should not be moved so that it is not easily damaged unless the space is limited so it must always be disassembled. Then infrastructure or facilities are everything that is needed in physical education learning, is permanent or cannot be moved. The research used in this research is survey research. This research does not test hypotheses or does not use hypotheses, but only describes what information is in accordance with the variables studied. The subjects in this study were SD Negeri 1-7 in Batursari Village, Mranggen District, Demak Regency. The results of the calculation explain that the total number, condition and ownership of facilities and infrastructure is SD N 1 Batursari is a school that totals all of the number, condition and ownership of facilities and infrastructure in the high category compared to other schools. Schools in the medium category are SD N 2 Batursari, SD N 5 Batursari, SD N 6 Batursari and SD N 7 Batursari. Schools in the low category are SD N 3 Batursari and SD N 4 Batursari. Based on the results of research and data on physical education facilities and infrastructure in State Elementary Schools in Batursari Village, Mranggen District, Demak Regency, only a small part of the physical education facilities and infrastructure owned by each school, most of the facilities and infrastructure are still in good condition and ownership status of all facilities and infrastructure are their own.

Introduction: After more than a decade monitoring physical education instruction in Brazilian elementary schools we noticed an exponential increase in circus activities in both curricular physical education (PE) and in after-school programs. The purpose of this study was to analyze the children's participation and gender preferences in circus activities, with regard to recent studies reporting substantial gender inequalities in Brazilian PE.Method: A qualitative study, based on multiple-cases design, was conducted in two public and six private Brazilian elementary schools. Data collection consisted of 17 semi-structured interviews with PE teachers and school administrators and in situ observations totalizing more than 130 h. The data were analyzed using Content Analysis (thematic categories).Results: Boys and girls showed high participation levels in both curricular and extracurricular PE circus activities. In grades 1–5, participant activity preference was not linked to gender in either curricular or extracurricular situations and overall physical engagement was high. Gender preferences between activities were identified in grades 6–12: girls for aerial activities (trapeze, silks) and boys for juggling activities. Teacher preferences played an important role in the process of linking activities to specific genders both through modeled behavior and gendered encouragement of participants.Conclusion: Circus instruction engages children of all genders and is thereby an effective activity to counter low participation in PE for boys and, especially, girls. Although circus activities are not inherently gendered, gender preferences are cultivated by teachers through gendered behavior modeling (their activity preferences) and encouragement strategies (guiding students to activities based on gender), which is often observed in traditional PE school activities and sports.
