Resumo(s)
The aims of this study were: (i) to characterize students' opinion on Physical Education (PE) and on the
School and (ii) to analyze the associations between opinion about PE, gender, age, and academic
performance. The sample was composed by 599 students (264 boys and 335 girls), aged 10 to 22 years
(14.76 ± 2.42). A subsample of 154 students (76 boys and 78 girls, 14.33 ± 2.14) were evaluated in academic
performance. The students' opinion about PE and the School was evaluated through a questionnaire with a
Likert scale response. The academic performance assessment was based on the curricular evaluation at the
end of the 3rd period. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test the normality of the distributions of the
variables. Student's t-test was used to determine the differences between groups in variables with normal
distribution and Pearson correlations to study the associations. The students' opinion regarding PE was
mostly positive (70%). Lower values were found in relation to the opinion on School (40.8%). The opinion
about PE was influenced by the grade achieved in the subject, but was not influenced by the overall academic
performance. With increasing age, boys like PE and School less and less. Further research on the reasons
underlying the results obtained can contribute to the acknowledgment of PE as a powerful instrument to
dynamize changes in the pedagogical process in Schools.
