| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to identify and investigate the perceptions of students and parents toward high school physical education at Bowness High School. Grade 10 and 11 students (N=190) completed a 33-item questionnaire and 87 parents completed a 17-item questionnaire. Both students and parents were queried on the current high school programs, goals of physical education, and importance of physical education. Students also provided reasons for selection or nonselection of elective physical education and parents reflected on their own high school physical education. Overall, both students and parents were positive and supportive of physical education, with the parents being significantly more positive and supportive. In contrast to other studies, the female student group were significantly more positive toward the compulsory Physical Education 10 program as compared to the male student group. Students and parents provided invaluable information for program restructuring. | |
