Abstract

In the Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe published a detailed analysis of the concept of black (dysfunctional) pedagogy, its historical and philosophical roots, and the pertinent legal aspects. Among other things, they found that individuals may internalize behaviours associated with black pedagogy through cultural and historical transmission. The legal aspects of black pedagogy are not primarily rooted in the regulation of education and the activities of those who participate in it, but to the emergence and development of fundamental rights for youth. In this study, we analyse university students’ and athletes’ previous experiences with black pedagogy, focusing on the role of physical education teachers and coaches. Data collection took place with students studying at the Hungarian Department of Physical Education and Sports Faculty of Babeş-Bolyai University (N = 228), using a Hungarian language, paper-based questionnaire consisting mainly of open-ended questions. Results confirmed that black pedagogy was experienced by students with harassment being most often caused by teachers between the ages of 31 and 50. In our sample, the incidence of psychological or emotional abuse was highest in secondary schools.
