Description

Many young women become disillusioned with physical education in their high-school years. Mounting evidence suggests that this disillusionment starts in early adolescence. This article discusses the experiences of female students in coeducational, middle-school, physical education classes. Focus group interviews, individual interviews, and questionnaires were used to collect data. The following themes emerged: personal competence, a moving body is a healthy body, choice and variety for a lifetime, and an emerging sense of gender equity. Results provide guidance for the development of physical education curricula to gain and hold the interest of female, middle-school students. Key words: adolescence, female, curriculum, exercise Bien des jeunes filles sont desillusionnees quant aux cours d'education physique au secondaire.
