The Sport Journal
This study aimed to explore high school females’ perceptions of physical education through semi-structured, one-on-one interviews. The findings from the research are significant because there is a lack of qualitative studies that specifically focus on high school girls’ perspectives regarding physical education. The results indicate that students want variety and autonomy within physical education, and they need physical educators who understand the impact of social factors. READ MORE
