Reasons for the Selection or Nonselection of Physical Education Studies by Year 12 Girls.
Browne, Jennifer
Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, v11 n4 p402-10 Jul 1992
Australian researchers surveyed secondary school girls to determine reasons for enrollment in physical education (PE). Girls selecting PE enjoyed the break, activity, sports, fitness, and skills. Those not enrolling believed other subjects were more important, PE did not fit their schedules, they exercised enough already, and PE was too competitive. (SM)
