SO, Marcos Roberto et al. Taste, importance and participation: the relation of high school students to Physical Education. Rev. Motriviv. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.63, e76302.  Epub Oct 20, 2020. ISSN 2175-8042.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-8042.2020.e76302.

The aim of the study was to understand how high school students relate to the Physical Education (PE). We asked 182 high school students from 8 public schools of São Paulo state, through a structured questionnaire, about their relations of taste, importance and participation with PE. The results indicate: (i) PE represents the subject they like most; (ii) but has intermediate importance; (iii) the subject mobilizes medium participation; (iv) the taste, importance and participation to PE decrease throughout the high school years; (v) student participation is more linked to taste than importance. Finally, we hope that, upon listening to the students, these results will return to teachers, suggesting new dynamics and guidelines towards the improvement of PE classes.
