Abstract Research paper deals with the opinions of students of secondary schools on physical education lessons at school. The aim was to find out various aspects of education such as popularity, demandingness, importance of the subject, feelings and emotions during PE lessons, and sport preferences of young people. The results have shown that the opinions of students on popularity, significance, talent, motivation and effort exerted during PE lessons were more positive than negative. Boys stated that they consider the subject not difficult, popular, and they show effort at lessons. Girls stated that the subject is not demanding, popular, but in a smaller degree than boys. Girls marked the subject as less importantn they show less talent for it and are less motivated for it than boys. As to boys, PE & Sport lessons evoke always or mostly emotions, while the answers of girls oscillated between mostly emotional, sometimes emotional or sometimes unemotional. Difference between the answers of boys and girls was statistically significant on the level of p<0,05. The answers of boys and girls to the question concerning cancellation of a PE lesson were oscillating between the values 2 and 3 (I am often happy; my opinion is indifferent), despite the fact that they stated in the questionnaire that they mostly feel well at PE lessons. The difference between both genders is statistically significant on the level of p<0,05. The answers of boys and girls to the question concerning satisfaction with the content of PE lessons oscillated between the values 2 and 3 (satisfied; partially satisfied, partially not satisfied). Generally we can state that the answers of students were more positive than negative. The difference between the answers of both genders is not statistically significant on the level of 0,05 (p=0,07). The answers to the question concerning the quality of PE lessons oscillated between the values 2-3 (mostly of good quality, changing quality). Boys presented a little more positive answers than girls, however, the difference between both genders is not statistically significant on the level of 0,05 (p=0,411).

El objetivo de este estudio, fue destacar qué otros elementos contextuales son más importantes que la evaluación de la condición física, para evaluar la calidad de la educación física a nivel escolar. Teniendo esto en perspectiva, se diseña un nuevo instrumento que permita determinar la percepción de los escolares de acuerdo a su proceso de formación en educación física. Se aplica el instrumento a 174 escolares de ambos sexos (80 hombres; 94 mujeres) con una edad media de 13,8 + 0,7 años, pertenecientes a Octavo año de Enseñanza Básica de colegios de distintos contextos económicos. Los resultados muestran diferencias en el “desarrollo de vida activa”, “desarrollo de autocuidado” y en “didáctica de la clase”, donde los colegios municipales presentan un valor más bajo que los particulares privados. Entre hombres y mujeres existen algunas diferencias en sus respuestas, pero que no permiten obtener conclusiones claras. No obstante, los valores más bajos se dan en  “expresión motriz” y “actividades en el entorno natural”, esenciales para una vida activa, pero que parecen no estar tratándose en el currículo de educación física. Este instrumento puede ser una valiosa estrategia de evaluación del contexto escolar de educación física.Abstract. The aim of this study is to highlight which contextual elements are more important than physical fitness evaluation in the assessment of the quality of physical education in schools. From this perspective, a brand new instrument was designed to determine students’ perception of their educational development in physical education. The instrument was applied to 174 eight-graders (94 girls, 80 boys) with an average age of 13.8 ± 0.7 years, enrolled in primary schools from different socioeconomic contexts. The results show differences in "Developing active life", "self-development", and "in-class pedagogy", public schools obtaining lower scores than private ones. Differences were also found in the responses of boys and girls, however, they do not allow for clear conclusions. The lowest scores were obtained in "Motor Expression" and "outdoor activities". Despite being essential for an active lifestyle, these activities do not seem to be used within the physical education curriculum. This instrument can represent a valuable means for evaluating school physical education context.

“forced sports” is not autocratic sports, but through the “forced” type of provisions to make students participate in sports activities, and ultimately improve the physical quality of students. In the relevant policies and regulations on school physical education issued by the state, the overall requirements for the improvement of teenagers’ health level are put forward, and some contents embody “forced” regulations. It is a very important link to integrate the idea of “forced physical education” into school physical education teaching and test it in practice. This paper makes an in-depth discussion on it.

It seems that educational system in Nigeria has undergone only quantitative improvement in terms of number of schools and students’ enrolment. However, there has been little effort in respect to the capacity to manage them through provisions of adequate financial, human, material and physical resources. Physical and material resources in secondary schools were discovered to be inadequate and poorly equipped. Some of the secondary school buildings were dilapidated, also the allocated financial resource, teaching and non-teaching staff are grossly inadequate compared with the students’ enrolment. The public, the Ministry of Education and other stakeholders in education are expressing serious concern about the consistency of the poor performance of secondary school students especially in mathematics. Increase in population and the government’s free education programs make people want to take advantage of the education provided. Provision of both professionally qualified and non-qualified teachers by government and non-state providers of education also appear not to ameliorate the problem of declining performances in mathematics. The effect of all these on the public secondary school student academic performance in mathematics concern the researchers of this study. It is against this background that the study sought to empirically investigates effect of resource factors and quality of instruction on performance in mathematics of Nigeria secondary school students.
