Changes in psychosocial adjustment of adolescents when applying the physical education lessons

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present study was to establish the changes in psychosocial adjustment of adolescents conducting modified lessons of physical education. The educational experiment was carried out in one Kaunas secondary school. The research was performed in several stages. First, the experimental (n = 185) and the control (n = 192) groups were selected. Then the groups underwent the primary assessment of adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment. Afterwards, the experimental impact (the program of enhancing adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment in the lessons of physical education) was applied on the experimental group and, after concluding the experiment, the experimental and the control groups underwent the concluding testing. 377 students in total took part in the experiment. Classes of EG during the schooling year had modified lessons of physical education twice a week. During the course, they had a theoretical lesson once a month. In the theoretical lessons, students were introduced to the disturbances of adolescent interrelations and methods of their elimination in the process of intense physical activity. During practical lessons, sportive games increasing physical qualities were applied to EG (basketball, volleyball, football) according to the general programs of physical education of Lithuania (2009); besides, Pilates exercises and imitational games strengthening psychosocial adjustment based on role-taking were also applied. CG forms also had two weekly lessons of physical education with the same teacher, the author of the research, but the lessons were not modified and they proceeded according to the General programs of the subject of physical education (General Curriculum of Primary and Basic Education, 2009). For the estimation of the level of adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment, a modified questionnaire by C. Rogers and R. Dymond was applied. Besides the main indices of adolescents’ psychosocial adjustment the questionnaire included other subscales (evaluation of others, emotional comfort, integrity,) which helped reveal psychosocial adaptation of a personality, in order to discover the level of communication skills of the students of middle schooling age, a questionnaire by Miškinis was employed.
