İlköğretim 8. sınıf kız ve erkek öğrencilerin beden eğitimi ders ortamındaki beden yaşantıları

Araştırmanın amacı, ilköğretim 8. sınıf kız ve erkek öğrencilerin kız/erkek birlikte işlenen beden eğitimi derslerindeki beden yaşantılannı ortaya çıkarmaktır. Çalışma üç erkek, üç kız grubu olmak üzere toplam 6 odak grup görüşmesine katılan 24 kız ve 24 öğrenciyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Her odak grup görüşmesine 8 öğrenci katılmış ve görüş-meler yaklaşık 75 dakika sürmüştür. Verilerin çözümlemesinde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda odak gruplardan elde edilen veriler, "beden hoş-nutluğu ve bedenin kontrolü" ile "beden eğitimi ders ortamı" temaları altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Veriler, beden hoşnutluğu ve bedenin kontrolü temasında, kız ve erkek öğrencilerin tümünün bedenlerinin farklı bölgelerinden hoşnut olmadıklarını göstermiştir. Bunun yanında, hem kız hem de erkek öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğu beden eğitimi öğretmenlerinden, ailesinden ve arkadaşlarından bedenlerinin dış görünüşü, kıyafetleri, davranışları gibi konularda geribildirimler aldıklarını ve bu çevresel etmenler sonucunda bedenlerini kontrol altına almaya çalıştıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Beden eğitimi ders ortamı teması kapsamında; erkek öğrenciler kız öğrencileri fiziksel etkinliklerde yetersiz bulduktan için onlarla birlikte bir fiziksel etkinlikte yer almayı tercih etmediklerini belirtirken, kız öğrenciler ise fiziksel yetersizliklerinin daha çok deneyimsizlikten ileri geldiğini, fakat erkek arkadaşlarının kendilerine karşı olumsuz tutumlarından dolayı onlarla birlikte fiziksel etkinliklere katılmayı tercih etmediklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Sonuç olarak; kız-erkek birlikte eğitim veren ilköğretim okullarındaki beden eğitimi derslerinde, 8. sınıf kız ve erkek öğrencilerin bedenleriyle ilgili olumsuz yaşantıları olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte, kız öğrencilerin rahatsızlıklannın daha yoğun olduğu anlaşılmıştır.

Bodily experiences of female and male students from eight grade in the context of physical education

The purpose of this study was to investigate bodily experiences of female and male students in the context of mixed-sex physical education classes. Data were collected by means of focus group interview as a qualitative method. A total of 24 female and 24 male students 8 grades from three schools were interviewed. Each focus group was consisted of eight students and took approximately 1-1.1/2 hours. The content analysis method of quali-tative analysis was used to analyze data. The data obtained from each focus group was sor-ted into "body satisfaction and bodily control" and "the context of physical education class" themes. With regard to the theme of body satisfaction and bodily control, all female and male students reported that they are not satisfied with their bodies. In addition, the majority of female and male students expressed negative bodily experiences and a sense of bodily control regarding to their physical appearance, movements and clothing from both female and male teachers and male friends and their families. With respect to the theme of the context of physical education class, male students preferred single-sex physical education because of physical incompetence of female students, and many female students also preferred single-sex physical education because of the negative attitudes of male students toward them. In conclusion, both many female and male students from eight grades had some negative bodily experiences inmixed-sex physical education class.
