description

This research investigates the effect of social and school processes on explanation of the achievement's differences between girls and boys in PE, particularly when they are assessed in team sports in secondary education. The performances of girls often are lower than those of boys. Traditionally, the differentiated performances may be attributed to physiological or sociological reasons. The object of this research, conducted about 1245 pupils and theirs PE teachers, was to focus on a possible differential treatment at school between girls and boys. Teacher's perceptions about sport as a male domain influence the process in which girls receive at school a poorest learning. The relative failure of girls in team sports has been observed as a result of teaching choices of PE teachers, based on a non sexual analysis of muscular actions. The findings indicated that, in their teaching choices, PE teachers select and destine to girls a knowledge which is unaware of their skill's difficults.
