Abstract

An anonymous poll was conducted among a group of 133 first-year 103 male (M) and 30 females (F) students of the Police and Criminal Justice Academy following the end of the Special Physical Education I course and completion of pre-examination tasks in the 2008/09 school year. The aim of this research was to find out the views of female first-year students regarding the subject of Special Physical Education, which belongs to the group of general-professional subjects. The analysis of the poll results indicates that a large number of subjects holds that the subject in question is very significant or that it is among subjects of significance (72.93%; M-74.76%; F-66.67%), whereas the number of practical training hours is insufficient, being average (67.67%; M-69.90; F-60.00), and that it should be 4 lessons a week (41.35%; M-39.81%; F-46.67%) or 5 (30.08%; M-31.07%; F-26.67%). The subjects also expressed an important view of the number of theory lessons, which they found was satisfactory (65.41%; M-58.25%; F-90.00%) and that lessons should take place during both semesters, i.e. throughout the school year (87.97%; M-86.41%; F-93.33%). The students said that they preferred (87.22%; M- 87.38%; F-86.67%) the special part of the curriculum (hitting, levers, throws…) to the theoretical part. As for the students’ views related to achievement expectations in the observed subject, it can be inferred that 53.39%; M-49.52%; F-66.67% subjects achieved results equaling or exceeding their expectations, whereas 43.61%; M- 46.60%; F-33.33% failed to achieve the desired results. A large number of subjects, 72 (54.14%); M 48 (46.60%); F 24 (80.00%) were of the opinion that the teachers and assistants engaged on this subject were extremely correct or correct, whereas 23 (17.29%); M 19 (18.45%); F 4 (13.33%) subjects stated that they were incorrect or that their conduct was disappointing.
