The purpose of this study was to illustrate how experienced teachers assess students’ learning. Thirteen middle and high school physical education teachers (Grades 7 to 11) were observed during one or two teaching units over a total of 183 lessons. The 62 assessment instruments used by the teachers during those 183 lessons were analyzed from several perspectives: the integration of assessment to the teaching-learning process, the aspects assessed, and the characteristics of the instruments. For integration of assessment, 71% of the instruments were used for preassessment or formative assessment purposes. Regarding aspects assessed, the instruments were used 77% of the time to assess both technical and tactical skills. With respect to their characteristics, 70% of the assessment instruments consisted of a one-sided sheet, with a majority designed to assess one student. In most cases the collection of information was based either on a rating scale, checklist, or a combination of both.

This study examined the difficulties of running online physical education classes in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and used the findings to develop an efficient operation plan to address these difficulties. Six middle and high school physical education teachers participated; three were experts in online physical education and active in the Korea Council School Physical Education Promotion, and three were recommended teachers making efforts to improve the online classes offered by the Korea Ministry of Education. A qualitative case study method employing phenomenological procedures to collect and analyze the data was used. The difficulties of operating middle and high school online physical education classes for the first time included (1) the monotony of the classes within their limited environmental conditions and limited educational content that did not adequately convey the value of physical education, (2) trial-and-error methods applied nationwide, resulting from a lack of expertise in operating online physical education classes, and (3) very limited evaluation guidelines proposed by the Korea Ministry of Education, which made systematic evaluation with online methods impossible. To address the identified problems and facilitate the efficient operation of online physical education classes, changes in strategic learning methods are needed to understand online physical education characteristics and thereby better communicate the value of physical education. It is also necessary to cultivate teaching expertise through sharing online physical education classes, where collaboration among physical education teachers is central. In addition, evaluation processes should be less formal to encourage active student participation.

To Receive

The purpose of this study was to examine situational and personal contextual factors that teachers and students reported as enhancing or minimizing student engagement in urban high school physical education classes. In this ethnographic study, 21 physical education teachers and their students in six high schools were observed, and all teachers at six schools and 51 students at five schools were interviewed to examine their perspectives on physical education. Data were analyzed using constant comparison. Findings suggested that students found some tasks to be embarrassing, boring, and irrelevant. Some students preferred to receive a failing grade rather than participate. All participants reported a sense of fear and alienation in the school or class environments. Students, however, described several teachers who created contexts of engagement in these schools. These teachers connected personally with students and worked to provide an innovative curriculum that students felt was relevant and worthwhile.

Management Techniques

The purpose of this study was to describe the management techniques used by high school physical education teachers immediately before (preactive) and after (reactive) student behavior. Eight experienced physical educators were videotaped as they each taught four lessons of their regular schedule. Formal and informal interviews with the teachers were audiotaped and/or recorded in field notes. Management techniques observed during lessons or described during interviews were analyzed by deduction using the 22 categories of Henkel’s (1991) Physical Education Pupil Control Inventory (PEPCI). New categories were developed by induction to accommodate observed or discussed techniques that could not be coded into Henkel’s categories. These secondary physical education teachers used 28 different management techniques, including 21 (75%) from Henkel’s PEPCI and 7 (25%) others observed by the researcher or described by the teachers. Findings contribute to a foundation for further research into the positive management of student behavior.

Meaning Analysis

The purpose of this research was to examine the courses and experiences of middle and high school physical education teachers based on their field experience, suggestions, and school educational environment and to explore in-depth to reflect learner-centered creative/ convergence type of education in physical education classes. To achieve the purpose of the research, four physical education teachers were selected as research participants, and after conducting in-depth interviews, inductive category analysis procedures among qualitative research methods were used to derive the meaning analysis and results of the data. For learner-centered creative/convergence type of classes, first, individual competencies of field teachers will have to be developed first. Second, there will have to be a solution to the problem of conflict of interest between teachers and teachers. Third, there should be case education, organizing, systematizing, and refined models for creative/convergence type of education. Fourth, there should be a realistic and direct approach and support, not an expression as an abstract language. The goals of the physical education subject matter include important parts that represent the direction that physical education should pursue and the learning reach that learners should achieve. Therefore, if education content is presented to solve problems more specifically and creatively, more suitable results will be produced for fostering creative/convergence type of talent.

La inteligencia emocional es un factor psicológico clave para generar un vínculo profesor-alumno y un proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje óptimo. Por ello, el objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer el nivel de inteligencia emocional en docentes de Educación Física. La muestra constó de 94 maestros de Educación Física de diferentes colegios de la Región murciana. El cuestionario, utilizado de forma electrónica, fue el TMMS-24. Los resultados únicamente mostraron una correlación positiva entre la claridad y la reparación emocional, siendo esta última dimensión la que obtuvo mejores puntuaciones entre los participantes. En relación al género, las mujeres manifestaron puntuaciones superiores en la reparación emocional. Por otro lado, los maestros con una experiencia inferior a cinco años mostraron valores superiores en inteligencia emocional, mientras que los más expertos obtuvieron valores superiores en reparación emocional. El análisis de estos resultados ayuda a mejorar los procesos de formación de los docentes en este ámbito. Emotional intelligence is a key psychological factor to generate a teacher-student bond and an optimal teaching-learning process. Thus, the aim of this study was to know the level of emotional intelligence in Physical Education teachers. The sample consisted of 94 Physical Education teachers from different schools in the Region of Murcia. The questionnaire, used electronically, was the TMMS-24. The results only showed a positive correlation between clarity and emotional repair, with the latter dimension obtaining the highest scores among the participants. In relation to gender, females showed higher scores in emotional repair. On the other hand, teachers with less than five years' experience showed higher values in emotional intelligence, while the more experienced ones obtained higher values in emotional repair. The analysis of these results helps to improve teacher training about emotional intelligence.
