A SOCIOLOGICAL APPROACH REGARDING THE LEARNING OF SPECIFIC TRACK AND FIELD MOTOR SKILLS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The aim of this research is to argue the necessity for a new methodological orientation regarding the pupils' formative activity, by knowing the perception regarding the role played by physical education of the population participating in the primary education teaching process. The sociological approach consisted in organizing an inquiry based on a 14-item questionnaire that would allow us to know the reality regarding the learning of motor content in general, and track and field motor skills in particular, in primary school. The questionnaire was given to 50 physical education teachers from 12 Bacau County middle schools. The information gathered from the respondents revealed important aspects regarding the existence of certain tendencies of modernizing the instructional process; an applicative intervention would be improving it by promoting experimental programs in the lesson.
