The Experiences of Non-Physical Education Generalist Teachers in Implementing PE in the Primary Grades: Implications for Capability Development Initiatives
International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education, v16 n3 p325-335 2024
This research aims to explore the experiences of nonphysical education teachers in implementing physical education in the primary grades as a basis for creating feasible capability-building initiatives. Employing a qualitative-descriptive research design, in-depth interviews were conducted with twenty non-physical education generalist teachers using a guided interview questionnaire validated by experts. Through the triangulation of results, this study uncovers the creativity and resourcefulness exhibited by generalist teachers in lesson preparation. However, several challenges impede their successful implementation of physical education, including the risk of injuries, inadequate equipment, a lack of training or seminars, insufficient teaching strategies, and personal health issues. The findings inform the development of conclusions and recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of generalist teachers in teaching physical education in primary grades.
