    Gender and regional differences in physical education teachers' perspectives on basketball instruction in Slovakia
    (Taylor & Francis : Abingdon, 2025) Beťák, Boris; Líška, Dávid; Pivovarniček, Pavol; Barthová, Martina; Popelka, Jaroslav
    Basketball is a central component of physical education in Slovak schools, contributing to students’ physical, cognitive and social development. The success of basketball instruction largely depends on the competencies, experiences and attitudes of physical education (PE) teachers. This study explores Slovak PE teachers’ opinions, practices and challenges related to basketball teaching. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1168 PE teachers (635 men and 533 women) from 635 schools during the 2023/2024 academic year. Significant gender-based and regional differences were identified. Male teachers favored sports games, particularly football and applied technical teaching approaches more often, while female teachers preferred gymnastics, volleyball and game-oriented strategies. Urban teachers expressed more favorable attitudes toward basketball, taught it more frequently and reported better equipment availability compared to rural teachers. However, all groups cited limited time and low interest in teaching basketball as common shortcomings. Basketball instruction in Slovak schools is shaped by both teacher gender and school setting. These findings underscore the need for targeted professional development, enhanced infrastructure and curriculum reform to ensure equitable and effective basketball education. By addressing these factors, the study provides a foundation for improving teaching practices and supporting more inclusive PE across diverse school contexts.

    Teaching basketball from the perspective of men and women physical and sport education teachers in upper primary schools in eastern Slovakia
    (Jihočeská univerzita v Českých Budějovicích, 2024) Beťák, Boris; Popelka, Jaroslav; Opáth, Lukáš
    The authors of the study used a questionnaire to find out whether there are significant differences in teachers’ views on teaching basketball from a point of view of gender differences. The sample consisted of 450 physical and sport education teachers (274 men and 176 women) who teach in 17 districts in eastern Slovakia, in upper primary schools. Significant differences at the p<0.01 level were found in the popularity of teaching basketball. While for 20.45% of women, basketball is the second most popular taught sport after volleyball (39.77%), for 13.14% of men, basketball is the fourth most popular taught sport after football (40.51%), volleyball (21.90%), and floorball (19.71%). Despite significant differences (p<0.01), more than 54% of men and 48% of women teach basketball most often for 6-10 hours within a single thematic unit. A negative finding is that 3.28% of men and 11.36% of women do not teach basketball. Game-oriented didactic approach dominates in teaching for both genders (54.72% of men and 55.77% of women). According to 32.85% of men and 40.91% of women, the main disadvantage of teaching basketball is the low interest of pupils in learning the sport. The second most frequently chosen shortcoming of basketball teaching was the low time allocation of the subject (29.59% of men and 28.41% of women).
