Summary/Abstract: The sample of 210 male and female pupils aged 10 (± 6 months) underwent a research experiment aimed at determining the differences in motor efficiency of young boys and girls in relation to their teachers’ professional competence (classroom vs. subject teachers). We determined the motor efficiency according to the subjects’ results in a complex motor task, the so-called ‘versatility test’, designed in accordance with the Serbian Ministry of Education’s Minimal Educational Requirements of the current Curriculum for Grade 4 (2006). We analyzed the differences in motor efficiency among pupils taught by subject vs. classroom teachers using a univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results revealed statistically significant differences favouring subject as compared to classroom teacher studies.
