Percepción de las clases de Educación Física y Salud según estudiantes de enseñanza media de la comuna de Temuco, Chile

Abstract

Currently, the Physical Education class at school is the only space in which students carry out mandatory physical activity. Therefore, it must be a space focused on the comprehensive development of the student, where the motor and physical aspects play a fundamental role in the student's global learning. The objective is to explore the perceptions that students have about the physical education class, to know what is most motivating for them and thus be able to propose pedagogical modifications in the teachers' work if these are relevant and justified. The method consisted of a qualitative approach, it has a collective case study design, and the type of sampling was non-probabilistic and intentional. Within this research it was evident that the ideal for students is that class with a sporting nature, where the figure of their classmates plays a fundamental role. In relation to the results obtained from both aspects, both the real and the ideal, there is a great degree of similarity in most of some aspects, and we can infer that the ideal classes of the students are not so far from reality.
