Abstract

The aim of this study is the analysis of the implementation of a program in physical education classes for the improvement of sexism in school. The instrument was administered before and after the implementation of the pro-gram, sexist attitudes questionnaire in primary education, drawn from the Sexism Scale Detection in Adolescents (Recio, Cuadrado, and Ramos, 2007). It was applied to 155 students between 7 and 12 years of age (9,3 +1,24), in a public institution of the municipality of Murcia (Spain), in the months of September 2008 and June 2009. The duration of the intervention was conducted in eight sessions that were distributed in a month. The results show, first, that children revealed more sexist attitudes about girls before and after the intervention. On the other hand, the effectiveness of intervention for the development of attitudes of equality, influenced in the same way in both genders and ages, and it did reduce these behaviors throughout the school year. Physical activity and sport is a tool that allows professionals to work on aspects related to equality, coexistence and democratic values in the educational context. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
