Material working conditions in teaching physical education

The topic of this paper are the material working conditions in Physical Education as a very important part of the educational process which is successfully conducted with appropriate exercising equipment, props and premises in which exercising takes place. The aim of this paper was to study the state of material working conditions in all primary schools in Pula. The research was conducted among 99 primary education teachers using an anonymous questionnaire that consisted of 14 variables. It examined the opinions of the teachers, their agreements and disagreements through a five-degree Likert scale. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that the main problem in primary schools in Pula is a lack of exercising equipment and props needed to work in Physical Education. Furthermore, gyms are not sufficiently available for classroom teachers because subject teaching has precedence over them.
