ABSTRACT

Introduction: Current lack of motivation by students to actively engage in physical activity during physical education class is more marked among girls, given their higher obesity and disinterest indices. This urgent problem of Chilean education requires immediate analysis.
Objective: Analyze the teaching and methodological factors affecting the scant motivation of female 8th grade junior high school students for physical education classes, as well as their variability and dispersion.
Methods: A mixed research design was used based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative data collection methodologies and techniques.
Results: Diagnostic analysis and evaluation were conducted of the performance of 8 th grade junior high school male and female students in physical education. Multivariate analysis was performed of the variables educational practice, methodology and motivation of validated results showing a trend in their values.
Conclusions: Analysis confirmed that female 8th grade students lack motivation and do not attend physical education class regularly, since those activities have little to do with the likes and interests of adolescents. The students stated that their reluctance to participate in sport activities is due to the demands of teachers and the activities themselves, geared as they are to the interests of the male sex at the expense of female students.
