Tracing physical education teachers' teaching difficulties in online era using teaching skill indicators

Abstract

Each level of education has different teaching difficulties so that teachers must be skilled and adaptive in teaching. This study aims to compare the teaching difficulties of elementary and senior high school teachers in implementing Physical Education (PE) learning online. This study used a quantitative approach with a comparative design using teaching skills instruments from Maksum, consisting of 19 skills aspects circulated through Google form involving 45 participants. The results of the descriptive analysis indicated that senior high school teachers are more difficult to open and organize learning. Meanwhile, elementary school teachers find it more difficult to close the lesson. Furthermore, the most difficult teaching skills for senior high school teachers are teachers implement strategies to optimize student practice. Otherwise, the most difficult for elementary school teachers is the teacher breaks down the teaching assignments according to the students' abilities. Meanwhile, both groups were equally easy to teach on the skill indicator "The teacher's treatment is fair, not differentiating between male and female students". Despite the fact that the discrepancies were not statistically examined, the current study convincingly reflects the obstacles that both elementary and senior high school instructors face in terms of teaching skills. However, the study did not look into PE teaching skills utilizing ICT indicators. As a result, future research may construct learning models and investigate further on PE teaching skills based on student characteristics, as well as the use of reality augmented technology to improve PE lesson quality.

Navigating Covid-19 Challenges – How Physical Education Teachers Skillfully Applied Their Expertise

“…The abrupt shift to DLE during the COVID-19 pandemic threw the pervasive internet connectivity issue into stark relief. These findings are substantiated by extensive literature, including studies conducted by Aguinaldo (2021), Belleza et al, (2021), Blegur et al, (2022), Tegero (2021, and others. This challenge posed a significant hurdle for PE teachers in effectively delivering their lessons and engaging students in PA. Unstable internet connections can significantly hinder the delivery of practical online physical education (OPE) classes; buffering videos, and frequent intermittent and slow internet connections disrupt the flow of instruction and hinder the teachers from delivering the lesson effectively (Daw-as & Magat, 2022), affecting students' ability to participate fully.…”

“…Space Constraints. One of the fundamental challenges faced by PE teachers during the pandemic was the limited space in OT for students and teachers to engage in PAs, and the research conducted underscores this predicament as exemplified by the studies of Amoloza et al, (2022), Angkay and Tagare (2022), Blegur et al, (2022), Camacho and Butac (2022), Daw-as and Magat (2022), Ignacio (2023), Reyes et al, (2023), Tanucan (2023). PE teachers are tasked with the intricate responsibility of not only acknowledging but actively addressing the spatial constraints that students grapple with in their small living environments.…”

“…The central focus shifts to the pedagogical predicament faced by PE teachers in facilitating effective DLE. The struggle lies not in the inherent disinterest of students but in the complexity of fostering engagement within the constraints of a virtual environment (Aguinaldo, 2021;Blegur et al, 2022;Castaños, 2022;Camacho & Butac, 2022;Daw-as & Magat, 2022;Rosell, 2022). Teachers grapple with the task of devising innovative strategies to capture students' attention, motivate active participation, and inspire genuine interest in OPE sessions.…”

Construction of Analytical Thinking Skills Instruments for Micro Teaching Courses

“…Several studies have confirmed that PE teachers are still experiencing problems in utilizing information technology (Friskawati et al, 2019;Irwahand et al, 2022). Therefore, the latest study by recommended that teachers improve the quality of learning by integrating information technology (Blegur, Lumba, et al, 2023). The recent rapid developments in information technology should be used as momentum and a stimulant to make teaching skills more effective and efficient.…”
