Abstract

ABSTRACT In many countries, sex equality is an essential aim of physical education (PE) curricula, while the PE grouping practices are widely hetero-normative. As far as there is a discrepancy between the curricula and practice, equality will not fully take place. This study examined the associations between PE teachers’ perceived teaching efficacy (student engagement, instruction, class management) and preferences for single-sex (i.e. juridical sex) vs. coeducational grouping in PE. The analysis, based on a cross-sectional online survey of 175 Finnish PE teachers, showed that higher perceived class management was associated with the stronger preferences for single-sex PE. Associations of teacher’s age and teaching experience with the preferences for coeducational vs. single-sex PE showed considerable heterogeneity. PE teachers’ teaching efficacy, especially in class management, for teaching diverse groupings of students could be improved through in-service teacher training in accordance with the national curriculum.

体育教师的教学效能感与男女同校分组

摘要在许多国家，性别平等是体育课程的一个重要目标，而体育分组实践却存在着广泛的异质性规范。只要课程和实践之间存在差异，平等就不会完全实现。本研究考察了体育教师感知的教学效能（学生参与、教学、班级管理）与体育中单一性别（即法律性别）与男女同校分组之间的关系。该分析基于对175名芬兰体育教师的横断面在线调查，结果表明，对班级管理的感知程度越高，对单一性别体育的偏好越强。教师的年龄和教学经验与男女同校与单一性别体育偏好的相关性显示出相当大的异质性。根据国家课程，通过在职教师培训，可以提高体育教师对不同学生群体的教学效率，特别是在课堂管理方面。
