Physical Literacy High School Students

Title: Physical literacy of high-school students Objectives: The main objective of this thesis is to acquaint the reader with the issue of physical literacy and to suggest possibilities that could be used to improve the pedagogical practice of not only beginning teachers. The thesis is focused on high school students, so the age group of 15 to 19 years, specifically, their motivation for physical activities was examined. Methods: In the thesis it is used a method of questionnaire in order to determine the motivation of high school students for physical activities. Data obtained from questionnaire survey was processed by standard statistical methods in Microsoft Excel. The theoretical part is processed in the form of literary search of available resources on the topic of the thesis. Results: I found that the motivation for physical activity of high school students is higher than I expected. The main motive of high school students for performing physical activity is "appearance". The value of BMI does not affect the choice of the dominant motive for physical activity. I also found that understanding the concept of physical literacy can significantly contribute to improving pedagogical practice.
