AimThe purpose of this study is to investigate how schools who have a health concentration and schools who haven?t are teaching physical education and if possible compare these schools.This study is based on following questions: How do schools with a health concentration and schools who haven?t, in compulsory school, teach physical education and health. How do physical education teachers describe their teaching and how do the students describe it.MethodMy study is a qualitative study based on interviews with teachers and students from different schools. The interviews have been made on four different schools from all over the country. I have interviewed one physical education teacher and four students, two boys and two girls, from each school. The schools, participating in the study, are one health promoting school from the northern part of Sweden, one health school from Stockholm, one ?ordinary? school from Stockholm and one ?ordinary? school from the ambient parts of Stockholm.ResultsThe physical education teaching doesn?t part between schools who have a health concentration and schools who haven?t. The pupils´ on every interviewed school consider that the teaching contain different activities. The most common activities according to the pupils´ are ballgames, gymnastics and strength. Most of the pupils interviewed have the opinion that physical education and health is fun. Both physical education teachers and the pupils think that the learning?s are connected with health. The teachers think that the pupils´ possibility to influence the teaching is much bigger than what the pupils think.ConclusionsIn the end I reached the conclusion that the teaching in physical education and health, didn?t contain any differences between the schools who had a health concentration and schools who hadn?t.
