Meaningful teaching in physical education – A study of pupils opinions of the contents and teachers methods to activate and account inactive pupils. Nowadays people in society are getting more and more inactive, and we have during our practice at different schools, noticed that many pupils are uncalled for and inactive at the lessons in physical education. The purpose with the study is to see what pupils in the ninth grade thinks about the contents of the subject and what they want it to contain to make the teaching more meaningful. The study also looks in to different methods that teachers in physical education use to make the lesson feel meaningful for all the pupils and how they work to activate and account inactive pupils. To collect the information we chose to distribute questioners to pupils and do interviews with teachers. In question of contents, the pupils want to do activities with a high level of effort and they want to have a varying and challenging teaching. To create a context the pupils wanted more theory and they think that the teaching gets more meaning if they get more responsibility and have influence over the lesson. To activate and account the inactive pupils, the teachers in this study tries to create a secure environment and they think it’s important with an open dialogue whit their pupils. They want to make their pupils feel competent and secure enough to participate in the teaching. Different methods they used were to find special solutions and adapt the teaching after individuals and levels to activate all the pupils.
