Opinions of the Top Managers of the Ministry of National Education on the Implementation of Physical Education Policies in Schools

Abstract

"World Physical Education Summit" was held in Berlin in 1999. In the summit, participants from more than 80 countries have determined the policies and reforms for the common solution of all problems related to physical education teaching. At the end of the Berlin Summit, the policies and reforms related to physical education have reconsidered and regulated in many countries. As it is well known, the firstly responsible agency in teaching physical education policies in Turkey is the Ministry of National Education (MEB). Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to reveal the views of the top level managers of the MEB. In this study, phenomenology design which is one of the qualitative research methods has been used. The study group of the research consists of 11 senior managers working in the Ministry of National Education. The data have been analyzed using the semi-structured interview technique and content analysis method. According to the findings of the research, MEB senior managers have listed the components of a quality physical education program as teachers, school administrators, equipment and physical conditions (facility, hall, etc.). They have stated that the biggest obstacles for the physical education curriculum to reach the desired goals are the inadequacy of tools and equipment in schools, the unsuitability of physical conditions, and the fact that the same types of schools do not have the physical conditions at similar standard. They considered the goals and strategies in the development and implementation of physical education curriculum as physical and academic collaborations.
