Adaptation Perspective Approach in the Implementation of the Curriculum of Physical Education Subjects among Teachers in Schools

This qualitative study aims to describe and understand the implementation of Physical Education curriculum among teachers in schools. The focus of the study is on the actual processes that take place in the practice of teaching and learning in the classroom and outside the classroom that involve the phases of planning, delivery and evaluation. As formulated by Marsh and Willis (2007), research on the implementation of a curriculum can be done using three approaches, namely fidelity in implementation or fidelity of implementation, adaptation and enactment. Because the activities contained in Physical Education are complex and dynamic, the adaptation perspective is more appropriate to study the implementation of this curriculum in schools as well as describe the role played by teachers in implementing the curriculum to meet the planned, and factors influencing teachers. in adapting to the curriculum. The study participants consisted of four teachers who taught in two schools around the city of Tawau, Sabah. They are selected based on educational or training background and teaching experience. Data were collected through observation methods on the teaching and learning of the teachers. Methods of interviews with teachers, and analysis of relevant curriculum documents. During the study, the study participants conducted teaching and learning that touched on the pillars of Physical Education learning, namely fitness, skills and sports. The validity and reliability of the findings are enhanced by using triangulation strategies, long -term observations, member reviews, stating researcher biases and audit trails. This study found that the main factors that influence teachers in making adaptations to meet the goals and objectives of the curriculum are infrastructure facilities and equipment. The study also found that the space to adapt the curriculum was very large because of the status of the curriculum which was not examined. This is also what has influenced the lazy attitude of Physical Education teachers in carrying out their duties as curriculum executors, that is, teachers on the outside (in the teaching plan book) seem to implement teaching and learning according to what is set out in the curriculum document, but actually do not do what is noted. or planned in a Physical Education class. In other words, the formal or written curriculum is different from the implemented curriculum and the curriculum experienced by the students. This difference gap is dependent on the factors of teachers ’attitudes, interests and conceptions about the importance of Physical Education and their role in relation to the matter. The findings also show that this curriculum can be implemented effectively even if taught by teachers who are not trained in the subject, but are interested and responsible for their role as curriculum implementers in schools. The findings of this study carry the implication that Physical Education curriculum planning should take into account the unique features of this curriculum by emphasizing the appropriate adaptation for example when faced with the constraints of facilities and equipment. In addition, the interests of the teacher, and the interests of the students need to be taken into account. This is because, only in this way will the pure goal of this curriculum be achieved, which is to help students become fit through the learning of physical activities and fitness practices.

Key words: health, anthropometric indices, functional indices, children of school age, physical training, risk

The Influence of Sports on College Students’ Learning Adaptability

In today's society, many college students are affected by exam-oriented education, physical quality deviation, loss of learning interest and motivation after the college entrance examination. At present, the overall sports situation and learning adaptability of college students are in bad shape. Under the influence of the educational environment, the vast majority of students will feel confused and uncomfortable after entering college, lack of learning motivation, sports hobbies and interests, and cannot adapt to the new environment and new learning methods. But through sports can increase students' learning adaptability, improve learning enthusiasm. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the awareness of schools, teachers and students on the importance of physical education and sports. Most universities have deficiencies in teacher resources, sports curriculum arrangements and sports facilities, resulting in students lack of sports awareness and unclear understanding of the meaning of sports. In this study, universities and students respectively put forward relevant suggestions. Schools should improve the teaching ability of PE teachers through training, cooperate with external sports clubs to meet the sports needs of different students, and help students find their own sports interests. At the same time, it is necessary to improve college students' cognition of the significance of sports, establish school sports associations, and exercise the quality of college students' adherence to sports under the role of mutual help of peers, and finally improve their learning adaptability through sports.

Construction and Assessment of the Physical Activity and Physical Education Importance for Parents Scale.

A recent systematic review reported positive associations between parents and children's physical activity participation. Moreover, parents' perceptions of the importance and value of physical activity can influence their children's participation in it. Our aim in this study was to develop and validate an instrument to assess parents' perceptions of the importance of physical activity and physical education. After first creating the instrument, we conducted content and exploratory factorial validation and reliability analyses of it with 93 parents (M age = 44.76, SD = 6.05, range = 31-66years; 73 females, 20 males). The result was a 9-item instrument, with items assessed on a 5-point Likert scale and grouped into three factors: (a) importance of physical education; (b) importance of engaging in physical activity or sport; and (c) importance of joining your children in physical activity or sport. In a second confirmatory factor analysis with 224 parents (M age = 44.53, SD = 6.07; 174 or 77.7% females and 50 or 22.3% males) we confirmed the factor validity and reliability previously analyzed (χ2 = 42.77, df = 24, p = .011, GFI = 0.96, NFI = 0.98, NNFI = 0.99, CFI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.06 (90% CI: 0,04, 0.08), SRMR = 0.04, ECVI = 0.04, CR = 0.70-0.87). Thus, the new Physical Activity and Physical Education Importance for Parents Scale (PAPEIPS) is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring parents' perceived importance of physical activity and physical education.

Importance of Implementing Physical Education Since Childhood and Its Scope

Children's health issues have always been a focus of concern for schools, families, and society. Unfortunately, children are currently facing some potential health threats. For example, obesity caused by imbalanced diet and high calorie diet, sedentary behaviour caused by spending too much time in front of mobile phones or computer screens, and immune decline caused by insufficient physical activity. This study analysed the impact and scope of physical education activities on children and found that physical activities can improve overall quality of life by promoting a healthy lifestyle. Physical activities can help improve muscle strength and protect bones from fractures. Research has found that people engaged in physical education are healthier and more likely to break unhealthy eating habits than others. The importance of physical education is also reflected in its ability to cultivate children's cognitive abilities and improve their personality. It is recommended that schools, society, and families collaborate to promote children's comprehensive development and healthy growth through physical education.

Importance of physical education in the development of school-age children

Physical inactivity poses a significant challenge in our contemporary society, emerging as one of the primary risk factors for mortality on a global scale. This issue is exacerbated by various elements, including dietary habits and attitudes toward adopting a healthy and active lifestyle. The need to address each of these factors becomes imperative to comprehend the benefits and drawbacks that can impact our health and physical well-being. The central objective of this research is to determine whether the level of physical activity these young individuals engage in regularly aligns with the recommended standards for their specific age group. Childhood and preadolescence are crucial stages in physical and mental development, and a lack of appropriate physical activity during this period can have long-term consequences for health.

Image of Physical Education Teachers and Their Class as Seen by Teachers of Other Disciplines

The image of a given professional group is the way they are perceived by members of another group, which translates directly into relations as well as attitudes towards them. How teachers and the discipline they teach are perceived is a significant factor that influences relations and atmosphere in the small school community. In the case of Physical Education (PE) teachers in Cypriot secondary schools, things might be different since they are dressed differently, they spend most of the time in the schoolyard or in the gym, they never carry books or homework, and so on. Various opinions are expressed, from time to time, about themselves and their class by teachers of other disciplines. These opinions vary from negative on one end to positive on the other. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the image of PE teachers and their classes in Cypriot secondary schools, as seen by teachers of other disciplines. For that purpose, 132 secondary school teachers (78 women and 54 men) of various disciplines were randomly selected to participate in this study. Teachers were recruited from secondary schools from all over Cyprus and were interviewed in their school settings during their free time. For the conduct of the interviews, a questionnaire was prepared with open-closed type questions, which consisted of 2 parts: The first part concerned the teacher, and the second concerned the physical education class. The duration of each interview was approximately 30 minutes. In the first part, teachers were asked about their relationships with the PE teacher, how they see him/her as a professional, how easy he/she is in his/her relationship with them, etc., while in the second part, they were asked about the importance of physical education, whether they believed that the class was as important as other disciplines in students’ education and others. The data were analyzed using the method of continuous comparison and analytical induction and showed that three different views prevail about PE teachers and their class: 1) They are colleagues who have no difficulties in their work, are somewhat distant from other colleagues and their class does not have much to offer, 2) They are colleagues who easily develop good relationships with colleagues of other disciplines. However, their contribution to students’ education through their class is not like that of other disciplines, and 3) They are well-intentioned colleagues, always available, easy to work with, who contribute significantly through their class like any other colleague, but with different duties, due to the nature of their class. Teachers of other disciplines are often influenced either by personal experiences of the past, forming a positive or negative image, or by individual cases in their school. Although PE teachers do not have anything to prove at school, since they have to be transferred to a different school every eight years, according to the Cypriot Education System and colleagues of other disciplines do not know them as professionals, many times they have to prove themselves in other colleagues’ eyes through their work, in order to allow them to form positive perceptions of themselves as professionals and the contribution of their class to the overall student education.

The Importance of Physical Education and Health Subjects for Students with Special Educational Needs in Malaysia

This article discusses the importance of physical and health education for students with special educational needs (SEN) in Malaysia. The study involved 200 respondents, including MBPK. This study uses a mixed methods approach, including surveys and focus group discussions with MBPK teachers and parents. Findings show that physical education can provide a variety of benefits, including improving physical fitness, social interaction, and emotional control. Participation in these classes can promote physical, social and emotional well-being, and help develop new physical skills. This study emphasizes the importance of providing equal access to physical education and health classes for MBPK and suggests that schools prioritize these subjects in their curriculum. However, this study has limitations in terms of sample size and generalizability to all MBPK. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of physical education and health classes on academic performance and social skills, as well as parents' and teachers' attitudes and beliefs towards inclusive physical education. The article suggests that the government should prioritize the inclusion of physical education and health in the curriculum for MBPK to promote their overall development and wellbeing. The study also highlighted the need for inclusive and adaptive physical education programs, as well as support for teachers and parents. Overall, the study shows that physical education and health classes have a significant positive effect on the academic, physical and psychological well-being of MBPK in Malaysia.

Ghosts in the Hallowed Halls: Have Physical Education Scholars Been Done Wrong, Where Have They Gone, and Where Do They Belong?

ABSTRACT This paper, based upon the Dudley Allen Sargent lecture delivered at the 2023 NAKHE conference, provides a discussion on the importance of physical education in higher education from a non-American perspective. It explores the past and present place of physical education and its scholars in the realm of higher education, while sharing examples and insights from a Canadian context. It argues that at the present time physical education scholars suffer somewhat from an abundance affliction with respect to the immense number of organizations, conferences, and journals that exist for sharing their scholarly work. Finally, readers are encouraged to reflect on how this breadth of opportunity for physical education in higher education and academia is both the disciplines’ greatest strength and weakness, but that regardless of this fact the roots of physical education in higher education and Dudley Sargent’s aspirations are still shared among physical education and kinesiology scholars of today.

한국아동패널 자료를 이용한 학령기 아동의 성별 및 운동참여 여부에 따른 학업수행능력 및 학업동기의 차이 분석

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of gender and physical activity on the academic achievement and academic motive. 2019 Panel Study on Korean Children published was used for the analysis, and the subjects of the study were 1,412 children aged 11 years. By using SPSS 20.0 statistics program with dummy variable complex sample multiple regression, following results were deduced. First, girls showed higher level of academic performance than boys, boys showed higher level of academic motive overall. Therefore, specialized education program is needed for girls to increase the academic motive and for boys to increase the learning skill. Second, student participating in physical activity showed higher level of academic performance and academic motive than student who does not participate in physical activity. Based on the results, the importance of physical education in school education curriculum and sport vitalization policy for school age children are required to be emphasized.

Effects of a games-based physical education lesson on cognitive function in adolescents.

Despite the importance of physical education (PE) lessons for physical activity in adolescents, the acute cognitive responses to PE lessons have not been explored; a gap in the literature that this study addresses. Following familiarisation, 76 (39 female) adolescents (12.2 ± 0.4 y) completed two trials (60 min games-based PE lesson and 60 min academic lesson) separated by 7-d in a counterbalanced, crossover design. Attention, executive function, working memory, and perception were assessed 30 min before, immediately post, and 45 min post-lesson in both trials. Participants were split into high-and low-fit groups based on a gender-specific median split of distance run on the multi-stage fitness test. Furthermore, participants were split into high and low MVPA groups based on a gender-specific median split of MVPA time (time spent >64% HR max) during the PE lesson. Overall, a 60 min games-based PE lesson had no effect on perception, working memory, attention, or executive function in adolescents (all p > 0.05) unless MVPA time is high. The physical activity-cognition relationship was moderated by MVPA, as working memory improved post-PE lesson in adolescents who completed more MVPA during their PE lesson (time*trial*MVPA interaction, p < 0.05, partial η2 = 0.119). Furthermore, high-fit adolescents displayed superior cognitive function than their low-fit counterparts, across all domains of cognitive function (main effect of fitness, all p < 0.05, partial η2 0.014-0.121). This study provides novel evidence that MVPA time moderates the cognitive response to a games-based PE lesson; and emphasises that higher levels of fitness are beneficial for cognitive function in adolescents.

Goal Orientations of Secondary School Students and Their Intention to Practise Physical Activity in Their Leisure Time: Mediation of Physical Education Importance and Satisfaction.

The aim of this study was to analyse the mediating role of Physical Education importance and satisfaction/fun between the dispositional goal orientations of secondary school students and their intention to partake in leisure time physical activity. The research design was descriptive, cross-sectional, and non-randomized. In total, 2102 secondary school students participated (Mage = 14.87; SD = 1.39) (1024 males; 1078 females). The scales used were the Perception of Success Questionnaire, Importance of Physical Education, Satisfaction with Physical Education, and Intention to Participate in Leisure Time Physical Activity. Structural equation models with the latent variables were also calculated. The results highlight that Physical Education satisfaction/fun has a mediating effect between task orientation and the intention to practice physical activity during leisure time.

Tumanyan of Vanadzor. The purpose of the study is to find out the opinion of university students about the organization of the process of physical education focused on fitness. Methods of research organization are questionnaire survey, literature study, analysis and generalization. Main tasks are to study literary sources on ways to improve physical education, to organize a questionnaire survey of students of various universities and to clarify their opinion about the features of the process of physical education focused on fitness. According to the results of the survey, the importance of physical education with the use of fitness technologies was explained. Within the framework of the research funded from the RA state budget on the scientific topic "Ways to improve the process of physical education of university students", a questionnaire was compiled in order to organize a questionnaire survey among university students. The questionnaire consisted of 14 questions, which in turn were divided into 2 parts. The first part of the questions was related to the study of the existing state of physical education, to the other the search for ways to improve them. In particular questionnaires were used to find out the opinion of students on the pleasure of participating in physical education classes at universities, the main reasons for the absence of students in these classes, ways of students' interest in the process of physical education, self-assessment of the state of their physical fitness, complaints often heard during physical education classes, exercises performed with the greatest pleasure, features of the organization of physical education classes based on the preferred forms of training of students, including the ways of their influence and also about the features of the use of fitness technologies in physical education classes. As a result of the surveys, the expediency of organizing the process of physical education of university students focused on fitness was revealed, especially in the context of working with female students. At the same time, it turned out that most of the surveyed university students are satisfied with the current way of conducting physical education at the university.

Physical education in primary school and impact on educational leadership

Purpose: In Italy, the 2022 Budget Law, established the compulsory curricular teaching of physical education (PE) by the specialist teacher, with a master’s degree in exercise and sport sciences, in classes IV and V of primary school to achieve the objectives of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, inherent in the assumption of behaviors and lifestyles appropriate to the harmonious development of the children. Since the impact studies of many internal stakeholders in primary schools have already been done, it remained to extend the impact study among school headmasters. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the perceptions of school headmasters on PE teaching and to verify the variables that could influence their opinions, to complete the study on the impact the reform has produced. Methods: The sample consisted of 32 primary school headmasters from Naples and province, who filled out a questionnaire to investigate their perceptions on PE teaching. Chi Square (X2) was performed to test the associations between variables. Results: 96.9% of headmasters favoured the introduction of the specialist teacher in PE and the compulsory teaching of PE, as it was considered essential. The perceptions of the need of a specific education to teach PE influenced both the importance of PE and the way it should be included in the school curriculum. Conclusions: Most of headmasters were aware that teaching PE required a specific education, possessed by the specialist teacher, wishing for its introduction in all primary school classes. Knowing the perceptions of school headmasters is crucial because, they can influence how PE is taught in the school, essential to ensure proper mental and physical development of the children and to counteract problems related to the need for movement. Keywords: perceptions; specialist teacher; generalist teacher; children wellbeing; headmasters.

Physical Education as a Foundation for Grassroots Sport in Primary School in Zimbabwe

The importance of physical education in primary schools has been realised worldwide. It is through the teaching of Physical Education (PE) in primary schools that children have been exposed to play and sporting activities at grassroots level. Notably, the delivery of PE varies from one school to the other. Issues of availability of equipment and facilities, resource and assessment procedures influence the teaching of PE. The research set to develop an appreciation on the role and contribution of teaching PE as a foundation for skills development at primary school level amongst stakeholders, universities and colleges. A quantitative approach was used to gather information from participants that comprised teachers of primary schools on the role of PE. Stratified random sampling technique was used and participants were voluntarily selected while confidentiality of the collected data was ensured. Six females and five males of age 31 and above participated in the study. Findings from the questionnaire which targeted teachers point at resources and availability of expertise in schools. 90% of participants point at resources and availability of equipment in schools as a major drawback. On the other hand, 85% of respondents indicate challenges of competent teachers with expertise. Moreover, 100% of respondents allude to PE as a subject that is likely to develop the child holistically. Recommendations put forward were that of government availing both human and financial resources to schools so that PE programmes are implemented effectively. Furthermore, schools should explore ways in which teachers are empowered with innovative skills that will improve delivery strategies and community involvement thereby developing sport at grassroots level. There is a likelihood of having a sport-oriented nation if foundational skills are strongly cultivated.

Modern Visions of Physical Education: The Dissemination and Institutionalization of Polish Enlightenment Publications

The Enlightenment was an era of cultural, social, and political changes. The collapse of feudalism, social reconstructions, and start of manufacturing all influenced education, including changes in physical education curricula in schools. Accordingly, published Polish works on health, hygiene, and exercise reflected cultural and scientific developments during the Enlightenment era. Although local sports historians consider the nineteenth century as the period that laid the foundation for the development of today’s physical education and sport, Polish thinkers actually presented the concept of physical education curricula, called ‘recreations’ at the time, during the eighteenth century. Adults were also advised to exercise outdoors to maintain their health and physical prowess. Original Polish works published between 1740 and 1830 presented thinkers’ views on physical education and active forms of physical activities. They carried the message about the importance of physical education, including its educational and health benefits. By introducing systematic physical activity into the educational programmes of children and young people, Polish Enlightenment thinkers demonstrated a modern vision of physical education that was with the spirit of the age.

Current trends, challenges and developmental reforms in physical education in the 21st century: A review

In order to address future obstacles, this study attempted to identify the trends, problems, and challenges that are currently present in physical education and sports. Physical Education as a subject has been there in the curriculum for ages. In modern times, it has become one of the highest-priority subjects in India. The importance of physical education has never before been emphasised as extensively as it is today. Physical education (PE) and sports are widely recognised as important, relevant, and required for promoting an active, healthy lifestyle and for addressing the rising obesity rates in the world. Despite the fact that physical education is taught in schools in the majority of countries, children and teenagers have fewer opportunities to engage in physical activity as a result. The interactions between various movement-related behaviours, such as sleep, sedentary behaviour, and physical activity of all intensities, that make up the entire day (24-hour period), have recently piqued the interest of leaders in the fields of healthy active living, public health, and preventive medicine.
