International Journal of Instruction, v14 n1 p379-394 Jan 2021
Teaching styles in physical education are important for achieving teaching objectives. Therefore, the goal of this research was to analyse the knowledge, education and use of physical education teachers about these styles based on their teaching degree. The size of the sample was determined using the formula for finite populations physical, being a sample of 455 randomly chosen which are physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools in the Community of Madrid. An inferential analysis was carried out using correlation coefficients such as ANOVA and Welch. The results show significant differences in the use of different teaching styles regarding degree, such as command style (p=0.011), task assignment (p=0.033), guided discovery (p=.000), solving problem (p=0.000) and free exploration (p=0.000). One of the most significant conclusions reached, pointed out that the command style is the style most commonly used by graduate teachers in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, while teachers with degree in Physical Education or teachers with both degrees use more the others styles. It is important to know what teaching styles are used by physical education teachers and so they increase their knowledge about creative teaching styles if it was necessary.
