The current case study was designed to seek out incoming high school students’ perceptions of physical education (PE) and how students felt former PE teachers influenced their perceptions. The study was conducted at a high school in the United States and included semi-structured focus group interviews of 25 students. The results indicated that students have a mix of positive and negative perceptions of PE and reported that the purpose of PE was to participate in physical activity (PA) and learn how to live a healthy lifestyle through fun and meaningful experiences (theme 1). A fun and meaningful PE experience included learning how to live a healthy lifestyle, experiencing success in a variety of physical activities, and engaging socially with other peers (theme 2). The majority of students stated that their teachers controlled the factors that influenced their level of enjoyment in PE (theme 3). Students recognized that these activities and their teachers’ actions influenced their interpretations of their PA experiences in PE. Students reported that these perceptions could influence their future participation in PA. Based on the results of the study, PE has the potential to provide students with positive experiences with PA that encourage individual competence over social comparison. This, combined with meaningful content that is based on PE standards and students’ personal interests, can help to develop positive student perceptions of PE and increase students’ participation in PA.

当前的案例研究旨在了解即将入学的高中生对体育 (PE) 的看法，以及学生认为前体育老师如何影响他们的看法。该研究在美国的一所高中进行，包括对 25 名学生的半结构化焦点小组访谈。结果表明，学生对体育有正面和负面的看法，并报告说，体育的目的是参加体育活动 (PA)，并通过有趣和有意义的体验学习如何过上健康的生活方式（主题 1）。有趣而有意义的体育体验包括学习如何过上健康的生活方式，在各种体育活动中取得成功，以及与其他同龄人进行社交活动（主题 2）。大多数学生表示，他们的老师控制了影响他们享受体育水平的因素（主题 3）。学生们认识到这些活动和他们的老师的行为影响了他们对他们在体育课中的 PA 经历的解释。学生报告说，这些看法可能会影响他们未来参与 PA。根据研究结果，体育有可能为学生提供积极的 PA 体验，鼓励个人能力胜过社会比较。这与基于体育标准和学生个人兴趣的有意义的内容相结合，有助于培养学生对体育的积极看法并增加学生对体育的参与。学生们认识到这些活动和他们的老师的行为影响了他们对他们在体育课中的 PA 经历的解释。学生报告说，这些看法可能会影响他们未来参与 PA。根据研究结果，体育有可能为学生提供积极的 PA 体验，鼓励个人能力胜过社会比较。这与基于体育标准和学生个人兴趣的有意义的内容相结合，有助于培养学生对体育的积极看法并增加学生对体育的参与。学生们认识到这些活动和他们的老师的行为影响了他们对他们在体育课中的 PA 经历的解释。学生报告说，这些看法可能会影响他们未来参与 PA。根据研究结果，体育有可能为学生提供积极的 PA 体验，鼓励个人能力胜过社会比较。这与基于体育标准和学生个人兴趣的有意义的内容相结合，有助于培养学生对体育的积极看法并增加学生对体育的参与。体育有可能为学生提供积极的 PA 体验，鼓励个人胜过社会比较。这与基于体育标准和学生个人兴趣的有意义的内容相结合，有助于培养学生对体育的积极看法并增加学生对体育的参与。体育有可能为学生提供积极的 PA 体验，鼓励个人胜过社会比较。这与基于体育标准和学生个人兴趣的有意义的内容相结合，有助于培养学生对体育的积极看法并增加学生对体育的参与。
