Abstract. This research sought to analyze the dynamics of physical education classes in the 3rd year of high school and to recognize the profile of the classes and the involvement of students, understanding the reasons that lead them to drop out. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used to gather data on the participation of 517 high school students in physical education classes in the 3rd year of high school in state public schools in the interior of São Paulo. For the analysis of the information, a descriptive analysis and content analysis were used. The initial results showed that 44 % of the sample had some barrier that prevents them from taking classes. Of this percentage, 74.6 % were girls, who were the majority, and who answered open questions about non-participation. It is concluded that approximately half of the participating students, mainly girls, participate little, or do not participate in physical education classes, this result being related to the methodology and the selection of content developed by the teacher. The role of physical education classes is to serve all students, respecting their differences, stimulating their potential to contribute so that they are proactive, critical, and autonomous in relation to their health and quality of life.  Resumen. Esta investigación buscó analizar la dinámica de las clases de Educación Física en el tercer año de la escuela secundaria y reconocer el perfil de las clases y la participación de los estudiantes, entendiendo las razones que los llevaron a abandonar la escuela. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo y transversal. Se utilizó un cuestionario para recopilar datos sobre la participación de 517 estudiantes de secundaria en las clases de educación física en el tercer año de secundaria en las escuelas públicas estatales del interior de São Paulo. Para el análisis de la información se utilizó un análisis descriptivo y un análisis de contenido. Los resultados iniciales mostraron que el 44% de la muestra tiene alguna barrera que les impide tomar clases. De este porcentaje, el 74,6% son niñas, que fueron la mayoría que respondieron preguntas abiertas sobre la no participación. Se concluye que aproximadamente la mitad de los estudiantes participantes, principalmente niñas, participan poco o no participan en las clases de Educación Física, este resultado está relacionado con la metodología y la selección de contenido desarrollado por el maestro. Por lo tanto, el papel de las clases de educación física es servir a todos los estudiantes, respetando sus diferencias, estimulando su potencial de contribuir para que sean proactivos, críticos y autónomos en relación con su salud y calidad de vida.

Se realizó un muestreo probabilístico estratificado según dependencia educativa y sexo de los estudiantes. Para la recolección de los datos se aplicó un cuestionario diseñado y validado con estudiantes del currículo chileno. Los principales resultados indican que existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las dependencias educativas, con resultados específicos de la prueba Anova de f = 48.584 p < .05 a favor de los colegios particulares. En conclusión, el estudio muestra un bajo dominio disciplinar de los alumnos y alumnas en las diferentes dependencias educativas, manifestando, una vez más, la necesidad de buscar metodológicas innovadoras para la disciplina, en función de mejorar los resultados de la dimensión conceptual. Abstract. The study aimed at diagnosing the conceptual formation in physical education in Chilean high school students. The study used a descriptive cross-sectional methodology. A total of 659 students participated, 54% boys and 46% girls, aged between 13 and 14 years old, from the three educational units in the country; public schools (36.4%), subsidized schools (37.8%) and private schools (25.8%). A stratified probabilistic sampling was performed based on students’ educational dependence and gender. For the data collection, a questionnaire designed and validated with students of the Chilean curriculum was applied. The main results indicate that there are statistically significant differences between educational units, with specific results from Anova of f = 48,584 p <.05 in favor of private schools. In conclusion, the study shows a low disciplinary domain of the students in the different educational units, highlighting once more the need to seek innovative methodologies within this discipline in order to improve the learning of its conceptual dimension.

This study examined the prevalence of attendance in Physical Education (PE) classes and associated factors among high school students. A cross-sectional study performed with 2,874 public and private high school students (57.9% girls, mean age of 16.45 years; SD = 1.22) from João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Attendance in PE classes was measured by the question: ‘How many PE classes do you attend during a normal week? The factors measured were: attitude, self-efficacy, risks and benefits related to physical activity (PA), perceived health, PA level, sedentary behavior and nutritional status. Binary logistic regression was used. It was observed that 41.9% attended two or more PE classes per week, with higher prevalence rates in public school students than private school counterparts (56.6% vs. 6.6%; p < 0.001). Higher attendance in PE classes was observed in male and younger students from both school systems. It was also observed in students who did not work, were members of the highest economic class and whose parents had higher schooling levels in public schools, and from 1st and 2nd grades of high school education in private institutions. Attending two or more PE classes per week is positively associated with a more favorable attitude to engaging in PA as well as its level, in both school systems, and with positive health perception among public students. In conclusion, attendance in PE classes was low, particularly in private schools. Attending two or more PE classes per week was associated with positive aspects of PA and health in the students under study.

Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia y formas de presentación de acoso y ciber-acoso en estudiantes de secundaria de instituciones educativas de la ciudad de Manizales, Caldas, Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de corte transversal realizado en tres instituciones educativas públicas de Manizales. La población de estudiantes fue de 1 769, de los cuales se tomó una muestra de 574. Se tomaron variables demográficas, de acoso escolar empleando el instrumento para medir violencia escolar de la Fundación Paz Ciudadana,  ciber-acoso, funcionalidad familiar, ansiedad, depresión y autoestima según cuestionarios empleados en estudios anteriores. Resultados: 50% de la población de género femenino, con promedio de edad de 14,3 años.  El cuestionario empleado arrojó un 5% en el rango 3-5 de acoso, 2,4% en el rango 3-5 de acosadores, 1,6% en el mismo rango de la escala de ciber-acoso, y 0,9% en la de ciber-acosadores. Si bien es cierto que estas proporciones son bajas, se debe tener en cuenta que en el rango 2-3 de todos los cuestionarios podría haber tanto acoso o acosador  Se encontró que la baja autoestima, los altos niveles de depresión y la disfuncionalidad familiar correlacionan con altos niveles tanto de acoso, como de acosador, y también sus contrapartes virtuales. El género femenino es tan acosado como el masculino pero son más los acosadores de género masculino que de femenino (p=0,000). Conclusiones: En esta población el “bullying” es un fenómeno de ocurrencia no despreciable. Se encontró igualmente que los efectos psicológicos del “bullyng” afectan tanto al acosado como al acosador.Objective: Determine the frequency and the ways of presentation of bullying andcyberbullying in high school students from schools in Manizales, Caldas, Colombia,between January and June of 2013.

Purpose: This study assessed the influence of state laws governing physical education (PE) on weekly PE class attendance among US high school students. Design: Cross-sectional. Setting: 2003 to 2017 US national Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). Participants: A total of 533 468 high school students. Measures: Data on state laws governing PE came from National Cancer Institute’s Classification of Laws Associated with School Students (CLASS). Eight distinct state PE policies were scored, with higher scores denoting stronger laws. Analysis: Individual-level YRBS data were merged with CLASS data based on students’ residential state and survey year. State fixed-effect negative binomial regressions were performed, adjusting for individual-level characteristics and YRBS survey design. Results: A 1-score increase in state laws governing PE class time, staffing for PE, joint use agreement for physical activity, assessment of health-related fitness, and PE curriculum was associated with an increase in weekly PE attendance by 0.30, 0.28, 0.22, 0.20, and 0.13 days ( P < .001), respectively. In contrast, a 1-score increase in state laws governing moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity time in PE, PE proficiency, and recess time was associated with a reduction in weekly PE attendance by 0.25, 0.15, and 0.09 days ( P < .001), respectively. The effects of most state PE policies on PE class attendance were larger among girls than boys. Conclusion: State PE policies differentially impacted US high school students’ PE class attendance, with larger effects on female students.

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.
