Abstract
SANTOS, Ana Lúcia dos and SIMOES, António C.. The influence of students participation in intramural sports in the perception of environment in the school. Rev. Port. Cien. Desp. [online]. 2007, vol.7, n.1, pp.26-35. ISSN 1645-0523.
The study seeks to verify if the intramural sports influences the students perception about the school environmental climate. The environmental climate is a group of characteristics of the education atmosphere, noticed by their members with certain constancy. All the elements of school influence the characteristics of this climate, including sports. The data were collected at state public schools of São Paulo, with students between thirteen and fifteen years old of the high school. Through the analyses of the "sportive practice" variable was made a comparison between students who have and who have not intramural sports in their schools. The obtained results and analyzed in agreement with the test Qui-square or Fisher exact test indicate with 95% of reliability that students who participate in the training groups perceive the school in a more positive way than students who do not participate in these groups.
