TEACHER PERFORMANCE AND ATTITUDE OF STUDENTS TOWARD PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Most research over the last three decades has shown that students' views toward physical education, whether good or negative, are essential variables in their engagement in physical activities. The study aimed to determine the significant influence of teacher performance and students' attitudes toward physical education. The study included 199 students from the Padada and Hagonoy II districts in the Philippines who participated in quantitative non-experimental research using a correlational technique and a random sample technique. All participants completed the questionnaire, which consisted of 68 questions. Instruction, evidence of student learning, management and organization, learning climate, and professionalism were the factors that affect teacher performance. Moreover, family physical education, cultural physical education, and personal physical education were student performance indicators. Mean, Pearson-r, and Regression were the statistical tools used for the data treatment. Results showed a high level of teacher performance regarding instruction, management, and organization and evidence of student learning and learning climate. Thus, only professionalism shows significant results (r=.326, p<0.05). The study also revealed that student attitudes towards physical education were very high regarding cultural, physical education, family physical education, and personal physical education. Furthermore, there was only a minimal significant relation between the indicators. However, this cannot affect the overall result of the study. Implications for future studies and practice are provided in this paper.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0716/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The Lasting Impact of Memories from Personal Physical Education Experiences on PE Preservice Teachers

Preparing tomorrow’s teachers includes carefully developed curriculums, extensive class work and experiences that support student teachers to learn and apply content knowledge, theory and pedagogical skills. A significant part of this is often clinical work and student teaching experiences, which allow student teachers to put theory into practice. Teacher preparation programs seek to instill necessary skills and dispositions to be effective physical education teachers. However, there are previous, personal experiences of student teachers/ preservice teachers that are not part of formal teacher preparation that may influence teacher preparation. This professional enquiry considered the lasting impact of personal physical education (PE) experiences on preservice teachers (PSTs).

DETERMINATION OF SENIOR PRESCHOOLERS' LEVEL OF THE COGNITIVE COMPONENT OF PERSONAL PHYSICAL CULTURE

Physical education is the main objective of physical education in preschool educational institutions of the Republic of Belarus. This is an integral part of the successful improvement of a diversified personality, both in the field of physical culture and in the connection with other areas of life. In this regard, the issue of increasing the level of formation of physical education knowledge, an integral part of the cognitive component of personal physical education, is currently very relevant in the education system at all its levels. The modern system of preschool and general secondary education in the field of physical education is aimed at creating knowledge and ideas about physical culture among pupils as a part of the general human culture, revealing and developing child’s physical abilities and, in general, increasing pupils’ interest in sports. Currently, new views and theoretical and methodological approaches to the problem of physical education of preschoolers are emerging. Many experts in this field believe that it is possible to form an interest in physical culture in special conditions of kindergarten or out-of-school visits to sports sections. Other researchers see a solution to this problem in increasing the number of physical education classes or in educating the physical culture of the individual in a home environment. However, there is no generally accepted position in this regard. Purpose: to determine the physical needs, motives and values for physical culture of elementary schoolchildren attending day-care centers. Materials and methods: the organization of the study is represented by conducting a diagnostic questionnaire through test tasks developed by the authors, compiled taking into account the age characteristics of older preschool children on the basis of the Preschool Center for the Development of a Child in Chechersk. Results: the results of the study revealed the general level of formation of the cognitive component of personal physical education of older preschool children, as well as the most learned types of five basic physical education knowledge in boys and girls of preschool age: about physical exercise, health, personal hygiene, physical opportunities, the Olympic movement. Girls were found to have a higher overall level of physical education than boys in testing physical capabilities and the Olympic knowledge. Conclusion: without a balanced system of physical education knowledge a child cannot be an active and interested participant in physical education. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it is very important for a teacher to understand not only the structure and content of this most important component of personal physical culture, to know the mechanisms for its formation, but also to possess the method of its diagnosis.

Effect of Knowledge on Pupils’ Physical Abilities

National educational institutions constantly endeavor their efforts at development of democracy and humanism. In the process of pupils’ development as a personality, a very important role for democracy appears to be school physical education, as it affords necessary knowledge and develops skills for its purposeful application both in physical education lessons and at their leisure time. However, research data show that still many pupils do not possess appropriate knowledge and skills for a conscious and purposeful choise of physical education content, as well as for grounding its application technologies by valid reasons. Searching for the answer, the object of the research was physical education knowledge, and the aim of the research was targeted at the establishment of the 10th form schoolboys’ physical education knowledge effect on the change of their physical abilities. The article provides analysis of the 10th form schoolboys’ need for physical education knowledge by their self-compiled and performed complexes of physical exercises. This need is discussed referring to General Physical Education Program and Education Standards (2003). The object of this research is a part of pupils’ physical education content and methods, and, what is most important — it is in relation with values and objectives which base school activity, as well as with contemporary physical education and self-education holistic trend. Following this attitude, the participants of the research were not stimulated for the development of maximum physical abilities, they were expected to improve their physical fitness moderately, following the guidelines established in General Program and Education Standards. The methods applied in the research were the following: analysis of literature, questionnaire survey, testing of physical abilities and statistical analysis. Having performed the educational experiment, it was established that purposeful and consistently compiled development system of physical abilities which is based on natural physical activity of a young person, his physical capacities and needs, improves attitude towards self-exercising during physical education lessons, also stimulates to achieve more knowledge from physical education teachers, and due to this increases satisfaction with physical education lessons. The working assumption stating that personally compiled physical education exercises complex for development of their weaker physical abilities will be more effective for the improvement of attitude towards self-exercising during lessons, as well as sporting activities when the lessons are over. However, it is essential to indicate the fact that a certain part of the investigated schoolboys maintained the same low level of knowledge both before and after the experiment. Bearing this in mind, and referring to Primary and Basic Education General Programs (2008), physical education teachers should supply physical education knowledge, and pupils should perceive it and use it in a more effective way. Schoolboys of E group (carrying out the experimental program) throughout the whole experiment period exposed higher results of physical abilities compared to K group results. The better results were influenced by personal physical education and self-education motives and aims, possibility to compile physical exercises complex and perform it.Keywords: pupils’ knowledge, effect, physical abilities.

Features of formation of personal physical training of students

A sociological survey among pupils of 5—11 grades of secondary schools in the city of Kharkov, Vinnitsa, Luhansk and village (Vinnytsia region). It is shown that the most important factor that characterizes personal physical education students through the systematic physical exercise for physical improvement. The study found that the main motivational factors that encourage students to engage in sports activities is the desire to improve physical fitness. We prove that the lack of free time is the main factor that prevents students engage in sports activities.

Features of formation of personal physical education of students.

Проанализированы особенности формирования личностной физической культуры у студентов различных вузов. В эксперименте принимали участие 748 студентов. Показано, что наиболее значимым фактором личностной физической культуры студенческой молодежи является ведение здорового физически активного образа жизни и отношения к своему телу как к ценности. Подтверждено, что для студентов вузов физкультурного профиля основными мотивационными факторами занятий физкультурно-спортивной деятельностью является желание повысить физическую подготовленность, достичь спортивных успехов. Для студентов непрофильных специальностей - оптимизировать вес и улучшить фигуру. Доказано, что основным фактором, который мешает студентам заниматься физкультурно-спортивной деятельностью является отсутствие свободного времени.
