Abstract
This contribution relates and analyzes semi-structured interviews on the theme of school physical education with PE teachers (N = 55) from the second degree of primary schools in Prague and the surrounding area. Five main themes were identified in relation to teaching.
In order of most mentioned they are as follows: complaints about the teaching of PE at the basic school level, which results physically incapable children; safety problems, respectively finding the optimal balance between adventure and safety; evaluation problems, respectively grading physical education; the problem of too frequent competition participation, which causes standard school PE lessons to suffer and even more only a small selection of children compete; concerns about the inclusion of weaker individuals. Among the non-teaching themes the following five themes were also identified: too much and ever increasing bureaucracy; less support from administration generally, but specifically for teaching physical education; tense relationships between teachers; high share of PE hours which take place with less than 10 participants (up to 1/5); unsuitable space and equipment for teaching school physical education, which was mentioned in relation to teaching and apart from teaching.
