Determining Teachers' Views and Behaviors Towards Current Physical Education in the Changing Understanding of Education: A Phenomenological Study

Abstract

The aim of this study is to present multiple facts and reveal an in-depth understanding by examining teachers' views and behaviors towards current physical education from a holistic perspective. The study was conducted with 21 physical education teachers. The phenomenology design was used. The data were collected using the interview technique and a semi-structured interview form. As a result of the content analysis, three themes were identified: Physical Education Course Content, Distance Physical Education and Technology Use and Health-Based Physical Education. As a result, although the distance education process is described as a difficult experience by the teachers, it has provided some gains in terms of health-based physical education and the use of technology in physical education. We recommend creating sharing environments that will unite in-service and pre-service teachers. Schools should follow approaches that will encourage healthy living and physical activity for everyone along with the task of bringing talented children together with sports.

Değişen Eğitim Anlayışında Öğretmenlerin Güncel Beden Eğitimine Yönelik Görüş Ve Davranışlarının Belirlenmesi: Fenomenolojik Bir Çalışma

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin güncel beden eğitimine yönelik görüş ve davranışlarını bütüncül bir bakış açısıyla inceleyerek çoklu gerçekleri sunmak ve derinlemesine bir kavrayış ortaya çıkarmaktır. Araştırma 21 beden eğitimi öğretmeni ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Fenomenoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Veriler, görüşme tekniği ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. İçerik analizi sonucunda Beden Eğitimi Ders İçeriği, Uzaktan Beden Eğitimi ve Teknoloji Kullanımı ve Sağlık Temelli Beden Eğitimi olmak üzere üç tema belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak uzaktan eğitim süreci öğretmenler tarafından zor bir deneyim olarak ifade edilse de sağlık temelli beden eğitimi ve beden eğitiminde teknoloji kullanımı özelinde bazı kazanımlar edinilmesini sağlamıştır. Beden eğitimi öğretmenleri ile öğretmen adaylarını bir araya getirecek paylaşım ortamlarının oluşturulmasını öneriyoruz. Okulların yetenekli çocukları sporla buluşturma görevi ile birlikte herkes için sağlıklı yaşamı ve fiziksel aktiviteyi teşvik edecek yaklaşımları izlemesi gerekmektedir.
