Sažetak
Keeping in mind the significant difference in physical exercise in PE lessons between
the fifth and younger primary school grades, the goal of this paper was to identify
the influence of physical exercise on students’ academic performance at the end
of the first term and the school year. Furthermore, the paper sought to examine if
this influence changes depending on students’ gender and the location of the school
they attend. The research was conducted at the end of the 2018/2019 school year
on a sample of 114 fifth-graders from primary schools in the northern Kosovo
region. A data recording sheet and a Scaler (SS - PEC) (α = .832) were used to
collect data on students’ academic performance. The obtained data were analysed
by descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon test, the two-way analysis of variance, and linear
correlation. The results of the research showed that students’ physical exercise causes
significant improvement of student academic performance in PE class at the end
of the school year, compared to the end of the first school term, both for male and
female students. The influence of physical exercise on the academic performance
of students in physical education classes at the end of the school term and at the
end of the school year is different, depending on the location of the primary school
students attend. The two-way analysis of variance found that students from families
that support physical exercise achieve better results in physical education classes,
which is more pronounced in male students than in female students, and in students
who come from urban areas, compared to those from rural areas. Linear correlation
has shown that student motivation for physical exercise significantly affects student
academic success in physical education classes.
