Book Description
"The purpose of this study is to determine if the Class 'B' high school physical education classes in Washington State are in compliance with Title IX, which mandates that physical education classes be assigned on a coeducational basis. Also, an attempt was made to gauge the perceptions of the physical educators concerning coeducational physical education, and to determine if a difference existed between the male and female perceptions of coeducational physical education. A questionnaire was developed and sent to 50 randomly selected class 'B' high schools in Washington State. Along with finding the mean answer of each response, separate independent t tests were run on the data in an attempt to determine if there was any significant difference between the perceptions of the male and female physical education teachers. The data indicates that the only significant difference between the perceptions, was on hypothesis IV, which stated that there is no significant difference between male and female physical educator's perceptions of how a coeducational physical education setting enhances the female's performance level. The male respondents disagreed (71%) while the female respondents agreed (67%) that the female's performance level was enhanced by coeducational physical education. The data also shows that 59% of the respondents were in favor of returning to noncoeducational physical education"--Dcoument.
