【 摘 要 】

The aim of this study was to design and validate an instrument of observation that would allow us to measure and quantify student misconduct during classes of physical education. This process of validation was carried out in several phases. Six expert judges in physical education teaching and four observers trained to measure student misconduct in physical education lessons participated in the process, analysing ten physical education lessons of sixth and ninth grade from ten different schools, settings the structure of the instrument through confirmatory procedures. The final instrument consisted of eight items describing different kinds of student misconduct during physical education classes, grouped into two categories (violent behaviours and undisciplined and disinterested behaviours). The results obtained in the process of validation, reliability and internal consistency suggest that the instrument designed is optimally useful and reliable to measure student misconduct during physical education classes, allowing its application without the presence of the investigator in the classroom, thus minimizing its effect on the behaviour of the student body.
