The study found that the degree of effectiveness of teaching the athletics program for young children (Kids Athletics) from the teachers’ point of view is very large, reaching (4.30) and that the degree of teachers’ awareness of the program is very large, reaching (4.20), and the responses of the sample members about the availability of program implementation requirements reached (3.81), and there were no statistical differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) between the arithmetic averages of teachers' responses to the effectiveness of teaching the program and teachers' awareness about the program according to academic qualifications and years of experience for teachers due to the variables of academic qualifications and years of experience for teachers. In light of the results of the study, the researchers recommend the importance of including the athletics program for youngsters (Kids Athletics)  in the curricula of the fifth and sixth grades of the school PE subject due to its importance and contribution to achieving the objectives of the subject and developing motor abilities, and the need to continue in the qualifying and training programs to develop the capabilities of PE teachers in teaching the program and to ensure that schools are equipped with the necessary equipment to teach the suggested program, and provide the requirements for its implementation within the academic units of the curriculum.

This study aims to identify the acquisition of linguistic competencies by pre-service physical education teachers at the College of Education, Sultan Qaboos University, and in-service physical education teachers in Muscat and Dhofar Governorates in Oman, as well as any statistical differences between these two groups. The population of the study consisted of 30 pre-service teachers and 28 in-service teachers. The observation card instrument was used to collect data. The results showed that the acquisition level of the linguistic competencies of pre-service physical education teachers was medium. However, the acquisition level of the linguistic competencies of in-service physical education teachers was high. Furthermore, there were significant differences between the acquisition level of linguistic competencies in pre-service and in-service teachers in favor of in-service teachers. Based on these findings, we recommend developing these competencies in pre-service teachers during the teacher education program by focusing particularly on planning, implementation, and assessment.

The aim of this study was to examine preservice physical education teachers’ perceived competence in selecting teaching techniques according to certain variables. The research was designed as a descriptive study using a screening model. The study universe consisted of a total of 348 preservice physical education teachers studying in different departments. The “Scale of Preservice Teachers’ Perceived Competence in Selecting Teaching Techniques” was used as the data collection tool. For analysis of the data, frequency and percentage distribution, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, t-test and one-way analysis of variance values were used. The level of significance was taken as p < 0.05 for all tests. The results obtained in the study revealed that according to the evaluation of the scale score intervals, the participants’ mean scores (4.24±0.36) for perceptions of competence in selecting teaching techniques were high. According to the subdimensions, mean scores of 4.30±0.38 in the positive prediction subdimension and 4.11±0.39 in the negative prediction subdimension were obtained. No difference was found between groups according to the gender variable. According to the variable for type of department attended, it was seen that students in the coaching department who obtained the right to become teachers via certificate programmes had lower perception levels. Another finding of the study was that as grade level increased, participants’ levels of perceived competence increased. As a result of the research, recommendations are offered regarding the need for preservice teachers, from their selection onwards, to be educated with programmes which give priority to domain-specific practices, and for certificate programmes that grant the right to become a teacher through short-term training to be reviewed.

We evaluate a group of students, presumed by their physical education teachers to be gender divergent. This study suggests that PE teachers confuse "gender-divergence" with uncoordinated motor behaviors. This may be because PE classes emphasize motor abilities and coordination and PE teachers may pay particular attention to these characteristics and use them (wrongly) as a criterion for gender divergence. However, the 10 presumed "divergent students" differ from their peers by being more likely to have friends of the opposite sex, interacting with groups of the opposite sex, preferring physical activities typical of the opposite sex, demonstrating less knowledge of sex, preferring interactive rather than collaborative activities and preferring more individual, less complex, less aggressive activities with less body contact.

The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to investigate physical education teachers’ perceptions of their teaching competencies (2) to examine potential differences in physical education teachers’ perceptions of their teaching competencies based on their gender and academic qualification. Descriptive approach was selected to guide the study. The study consisted of 127 physical education teachers from schools in four Governorates at the Southern of Jordan: Tafila, Maan, Aqaba, and Karak. A questionnaire instrument was used to collect data from the participants. The questionnaire instrument consisted of four scales: planning competencies, implementation competencies, personal and social competencies, and motivational competencies. The results showed that the participants’ perceptions of the levels of their educational competencies varied between low and high. The participants believed that the level of their planning competencies was low. While they believed that the level of their implementation competencies was high. The participants believed that the level of their personal/social and motivational competencies was moderate. The findings showed that there were significant differences in the physical education teachers’ perceptions of the levels of their educational competencies based on their gender and academic qualifications. Based on the findings, recommendations were presented.

Body Expression

Hace más de 350.000 años, el ser humano comenzó a expresar ideas, sentimientos y emociones a través de las posibilidades motrices de su cuerpo; por aquel entonces centradas en gestos, danzas y rituales religiosos. Si bien la expresión corporal comprende un abanico mucho más amplio de prácticas y modalidades, en los últimos años el ser humano ha adoptado nuevas formas de expresión vehiculadas a través de internet, popularizando y extendiendo, entre otros, los denominados retos virales por todo el mundo. La asignatura de Educación Física, que en las últimas décadas ha experimentado una revolución en términos didácticos y de otros bloques de contenido, debe mantenerse también actualizada en las distintas posibilidades de trabajo de la expresividad humana. Por lo tanto, el propósito de este trabajo es hacer una revisión de los recursos emergentes que internet aporta así como las posibilidades que subyacen en las redes sociales para abordar de forma novedosa algunos elementos de la expresión corporal en los centros educativos. Estas propuestas tecnológicas son populares, significativas y auténticas. Sin embargo, se apuntan sugerencias metodológicas al objeto de implementar estos recursos expresivos en el aula desde un punto de vista educativo.Abstract: Human beings began expressing ideas, feelings, and emotions through their bodies’ motor abilities more than 350.000 years ago. In the beginning, they did it through gestures, dances and religious rituals. Nowadays there is a much wider range of practices, and in the last years people have started expressing themselves through internet with challenges and viral trends. Physical education, which has experienced important didactic and content changes, must be updated with the different strategies to work on human expressiveness. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to review new resources taken from the internet and potential approaches within the social medias to address expressiveness in schools in an innovative way. These emerging proposals are popular, meaningful, and authentic. Nevertheless, methodological suggestions are included in order to implement these expressive resources in the classroom from an educational point of view.
