A STUDY ON THE USE OF THE SURVEY METHOD IN THE DOMAIN OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

Abstract

In physical education, the use of the survey method is of vital importance, considering that it represents the only explorative method in the social or educational fields. The purpose of the survey is to extract the subjective opinions of the speakers on a particular issue. Out of all methods of knowledge, this method is an auxiliary one, because it is not based on measurement.

Ideas do not appear at random. There is something that lies at their origin. Something that prepares and announces them. They cannot appear out of nothing. Even when we think that an idea occurs to us suddenly, if we look carefully into the matter, we find that it still springs out of somewhere in the past. We also discover that it has a source, an observation, a previous attempt that we have either neglected or forgotten about, but which remained stored in our unconscious, waiting to be activated. It originates either in a reassessment of our knowledge, or in previous experience; in any case, it "comes" from somewhere, it has a source with which it is logically connected. For this reason, in reporting it to the unconscious, we can assign it an archetypal origin.

Moreover, ideas have their history, too. They are born, often unnoticed, and remain as such for long before they are imposed, adopted, or become fashionable, and then, they are to be replaced with new ones, while the old inventory enters into the history of science.
