  • ”Ettei ois vaa silleen, et tytöt vastaan pojat” : urheilua harrastavien alakoululaisten ja heidän vanhempiensa näkemyksiä koululiikunnan ryhmäjaoista 
    Kuusla, Veronika (2019)
    Aims. The aim of this study is to examine what children that take part in a sport club in their spare time think about physical education (PE) classes and groups. The study examines the children’s thoughts on exercising in coeducational PE. This study focuses also on their parents’ views. The parents were asked to describe their thoughts on same-sex and coeducational PE. Methods. Eight children between classes 3 to 5 that take part in sports club activities during their spare time participated in this study. At least one of each child’s parents also took part in the study. The data was collected through semi structured interviews in May 2018. The research method in this study was a data based qualitative content analysis. Results and conclusions. The results state that the children who take part in sports club activities during their spare time, have a positive attitude on PE classes. The positive view was justified through different disciplines, variety, functionality and one’s own sporty background. Half of the children wished to participate in a coeducational group and the other half in a same-sex group in PE class. Arguments in favour of coeducational PE were the atmosphere in class, positive challenges and the fact that there is no real reason to separate boys and girls into different groups. Arguments against coeducational PE were the physical differences of pupils, problems with working in peace, hobbyism and the gender juxtaposition. According to this study, all parents supported coeducational PE. Some parents indicated that PE classes could occasionally be organized in same-sex groups, especially if physical sports are practised during the class. The parents also stated arguments in favour of coeducational PE. The arguments were divided into two categories: educating children to become members of society and increasing diversity in PE.

    Aims. The aim of my research is to discover what are the opinions of elementary school students on studying in coeducational and single-sex groups in physical education. Additionally, I am researching which kind of groups elementary students would rather study in, as well as what varied factors affect student's opinions. Methods. The research was performed using mixed methods. The research material was gathered from questionnaires from primary school students (N=103) and upper comprehensive school students (N=108). There were 211 participants in total. The research's quantitative material was gathered by likert-scale statements concerning physical education, coeducational and single-sex groups of the questionnaire. The results were analysed by using the SPSS programme. Analysis methods used included mean values, cross tabulation, factor analysis and t-tests. The qualitative material was gathered by two open questions and was analysed by using content analysis. Findings and interpretations. Based on the results of this study, students like physical education and boys find physical education and participating in coeducational groups more positive than girls. Girls on the other hand find single-sex groups strengths more positive than boys. Almost all the students participating in this research had experience in being in coeducational groups in physical education. A slight majority of the students, 52,9%, preferred to exercise rather completely or generally in coeducational groups and 47,1% of the students preferred to exercise in completely or mostly in single-sex groups. From the students primary school both the girls and boys preferred to have physical education organised in the future in coeducational groups rather completely or in general. From the boys in upper comprehensive school a small majority preferred to exercise rather completely or in general in coeducational groups. In upper comprehensive school majority of the girls preferred single-sex groups. The people identifying themselves as non-gender preferred physical education to be organised completely or mostly in coeducational groups. Both coeducational and single-sex groups were described as nice environments from the perspective of fun, friends, togetherness and group size. Different ball games were the main reason through which students based their opinion on which group they would rather exercise in.
