Abstract. Weight problems can be an impediment in terms of the pupils’ participation in physical education and sports classes. The purpose of this research is to determine if there are any differences in the way in which pupils (boys and girls) with weight problems perceive their participation in the physical education and sports class and its influence on body image at a teenage level. The study included 61 pupils with weight problems (20 girls and 41 boys), aged between 11 and 15. The results indicate the fact that both boys and girls enjoy physical education classes, but consider that they are not appreciated by the other members of the group, which indicates a weak body image, without differences between the girls and boys.
Key words: overweight, physical education, body image, gender
GOJAZNOST I RAZLIKE MEĐU POLOVIMA U OKVIRU ČASOVA FIZIČKOG OBRAZOVANJA I NJIHOV UTICAJ NA RAZVOJ SLIKE O SEBI KOD DECE
Problemi sa težinom mogu biti otežavajuća okolnost prilikom učešća učenika u časovima fizičkog obrazovanja. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je da se odredi da li postoje neke razlike u načinu na koji školska deca (dečaci i devojčice) koji imaju problema sa težinom uviđaju svoje učešće u časovima fizičkog obrazovanja i njegov uticaj na razvijanje slike o sebi kod tinejdžera. U istraživanje je uključeno 61 dete sa problemom sa telesnom težinom (20 devojčica i 41 dečak), starosti između 11 i 15 godina. Rezultati ukazuju na to da i dečaci i devojčice uživaju u časovima fizičkog obrazovanja, ali smatraju da ih ostali članovi grupe preterano ne cene, što ukazuje na slabu sliku o sebi, bez obzira na to da li su u pitanju dečaci ili devojčice.
