Attitudes of students with disabilities towards physical education lessons: Reasons for their indifference and preference for leisure time activities

Original language description

The objective of this study is to analyze the attitudes of older students with disabilities (N = 140, 78 boys and 62 girls, age 13.5 +- 1.49 years) of three special elementary schools. The attitudes towards physical education (PE) of those students were examined in the sense of a school subject, reasons for PE lesson indifference in schools with regard of type of disability. In evaluation were not found any significant differences among students with disabilities with regards to the amount of effort required by PE lessons. Differences were found in opinions expressed by students with disabilities if for some reason a regular PE lesson is cancelled. The results show very significant differences as for the reasons for PE lesson indifference among the students with disabilities; while for students with physical disabilities the highest reason of their inactivity during PE lessons was their laziness, for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, the highest reason was inconvenient conditions, and students with visual disabilities were mostly discouraged from doing exercise in PE lessons because of their thoughts about their next subjects.
