The role of pre-service physical education teachers in physical education - A bibliometric and systematic review.

Pre-service physical education teachers (PSPTs) have long been an important area of specific development in physical education and have become a significant force in the field of physical education and research over the past two decades. However, exploratory research on pre-service teachers remains relatively scarce, and lack a comprehensive scientific exploration of the scope of their role. Therefore, this study provides a comprehensive overview of pre-service physical education teacher education (PETE) from both a broad and specific perspective. Specifically, it includes the current state of PETE, the most influential authors, countries, journals, and literature, as well as specific research topics and future directions within PETE. Following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a total of 340 articles were included, with 84 of them being empirical studies. The findings reveal that teacher training, diversity, equity, and inclusion in education, educational attitudes and beliefs, educational quality, educational methods and technology, career motivation, teaching models and strategies, and teacher assessment and reflection are major research themes. Visual analysis of the application of pre-service physical education teacher research highlights teacher training, diversity, equity, and inclusion in education, as well as instructional technology, as key areas of future focus. These insights contribute to the reasonable application of bibliometrics in the field of pre-service physical education teacher research.

Developing an evaluation index system for the online learning literacy of physical education teachers in China.

Background: The convenience of online learning helps physical education teachers overcome geographic barriers and promotes safe, accessible, high-quality education. This three-stage study developed an evaluation index system for online learning literacy of physical education (PE) teachers (OLLPET). Methods: Using two rounds of the Delphi method and one round of the Expert ranking method, consult with 15 PE experts from universities, primary and secondary schools, and teaching-research staff to draw up, revise, and finalize an evaluation index system for OLLPET. Results: Our OLLPET evaluation index system includes three first-level indicators, seven second-level indicators and 30 third-level indicators. The first-level indicators includes online learning values (OLV), online learning essential character (OLEC), and online learning key competencies (OLKC)-with equal weighting given to OLV (0.367) and OLKC (0.367) and slightly less given to OLEC (0.267). Conclusion: The OLLPET evaluation index system is a theoretical yet practical tool that governments, schools, and teachers can use to evaluate PE teachers' online learning literacy to improve their learning capacity in a targeted manner.

Exploring Physical Educators' Self-Efficacy to Teach Students With Disabilities in General Physical Education.

The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which in-service physical education teachers construct their self-efficacy beliefs toward teaching students with disabilities in general physical education classes. Using a qualitative descriptive approach situated within self-efficacy theory, data were collected via semistructured audio-recorded interviews with 16 in-service physical educators. Three interrelated themes were constructed: (a) The more I do it, the better I feel: the importance of professional experiences; (b) I've learned from others: the influence of colleagues; and (c) Being in the general educational setting is a challenge: the impact of contextual factors. Findings supported the influence of the four sources of self-efficacy (i.e., mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, and affective and physiological state), in addition to potential contextual factors (i.e., class sizes and availability of hands-on support), impacting participants' self-efficacy to teach students with disabilities in general physical education classes.

Physical Education: At the Centre of Physical Activity Promotion in Schools.

Whilst recognising and advocating for the role and importance of schools and whole school approaches to the promotion of physical activity in schools, this paper argues that physical education (PE) should be at the centre of and driving schools' efforts to promote physical activity. Various reasons are given for this, with these broadly centring on the unique goal, nature, and responsibilities of the subject with respect to promoting physically active lifestyles and health-related learning. Furthermore, there have been positive strides in recent years to support this endeavour and that serve to highlight, strengthen, and reinforce the focus and responsibility of PE in the promotion of physical activity. In light of these, it is suggested that it is a pivotal time for PE. Equally, it is accepted that PE faces some longstanding challenges that are hindering and raise questions concerning the subject's physical activity promotion efforts. Despite this, it is contended that these should not be unsurmountable, and more recent developments should also help the subject to realise its physical activity promoting potential moving forwards. In particular, the critical importance of high-quality PE that has young people at the core is highlighted. It is concluded that it is both time and timely for the PE profession to be bold, have confidence, and grasp these opportunities and ensure that high-quality PE is central to the explicit planning and co-ordination of meaningful, coherent, relevant, and sustainable physical activity opportunities for young people in schools.

Development and validation of the social media perception scale for preservice physical education teachers.

Background: Social media has become a mainstay of preservice physical education teachers' professional development. However, previous studies have been dominated by qualitative research, and there is still a lack of quantitative research based on samples from eastern countries. The objective of this study is to develop and validate of the Social Media Perception Scale for Preservice Physical Education teachers (SMPS-PPE). Method: Items of questionnaire created from 70 concepts of the perception model described in our previous study. Questionnaire survey was used to collect quantitative data from a sample of 977 preservice physical education teachers through surveys. We analyzed the data using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0, conducting item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis to examine the data. Results: SMPS-PPE consists of 26 items grouped into three factors: value perception, risk perception, and overall perception. Our findings indicate that SMPS-PPE has acceptable content validity, internal structure validity, and internal consistency. Conclusion: SMPS-PPE is a reliable and valid measurement to evaluate social media perception among preservice physical education teachers. Future studies should include larger and more diverse teacher samples to enhance generalizability. The SMPS-PPE should also be modified to better cater to the specific requirements of school teachers and university-based teacher educators in the field of physical education.

Occupational Sun Exposure Among Physical Education Teachers in Primary and Secondary Schools in Andalusia, Spain.

Chronic sun exposure and sunburns are the main preventable causes of skin cancer. Due to the nature of their work, physical education teachers are at high risk for occupational skin cancer. This descriptive, cross-sectional study analyzes primary and secondary physical education teachers in Andalusia, Spain. All participants were invited to monitor their ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure using individual biologic dosimeters and record their photoprotection practices over 3 workdays. The teachers spent an average of 2.7 h outdoors and the mean personal UV radiation exposure was 309.9 J/m2 per day, a value three times higher than international recommendations. Based on the photoprotection diary, it was determined that classes held outdoors were not scheduled outside the hours with the highest UV index and that the percentage of participants who followed the photoprotective practices of remaining in the shade or wearing a hat during outdoor lessons were less than 20% and 60%, respectively. The results on sun exposure and photoprotection practices show a need for organizational and educational intervention strategies to mitigate sun exposure and increase compliance with photoprotection measures to reduce skin cancer risk among these workers and promote early diagnosis of the disease.

Validation of the Chinese version of the physical education teacher job satisfaction scale.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the factor structure as well as the reliability of the Physical Education Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale (PETJSS). Method: The scale's structural validity, internal consistency and reliability were examined using CFA and Cronbach alpha. The predictive validity of the PETJSS was examined using Teacher Self-Efficacy (TSES-11) and the personal characteristics of the subjects. Result: The three-factor structure of the PETJSS was confirmed. The PETJSS three-dimensional model had good internal consistency/reliability. The three dimensions of the PETJSS (colleague satisfaction, parent satisfaction and student behaviour satisfaction) explained 81.206% of the overall job satisfaction. Also, the PETJSS demonstrated the expected correlation with teachers' self-efficacy, whilst the PETJSS test results were related to physical education teachers' job titles. Conclusion: The PETJSS (Chinese version) can be considered as a valid and reliable method.

Evaluation of learning is integrated into all curricular components, including Physical Education, which deals with knowledge related to bodily culture, such as play and games, gymnastics, dancing, sports, wrestling and adventure activities. Seeking to better understand the characteristics of evaluative activities developed by physical education teachers, a descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out in the municipal territory of Marechal Cândido Rondon, State of Paraná, Brazil. The data were obtained by applying a semi-structured interview, which was considered valid in terms of language clarity, practical relevance and theoretical significance. Data collection took place between August and October, 2017, at school facilities. The data were analyzed qualitatively through the content analysis technique, and classified into evaluation functions, number of evaluations carried out per quarter, instruments/procedures, evaluation criteria and difficulties that came up during the evaluation process. The results showed that the evaluation process was both formal and informal, and was carried out through tests and papers, presented as a requirement of the school and focused on examining the appropriation of theoretical or conceptual knowledge, as well as through observation by the teacher. They were focused on analyzing the motion and technical evolution of each student, in addition to assessing their participation and involvement in the classroom. Generally speaking, the evaluation developed by the teachers sought to respond to the determinations of the school system and the unique features of knowledge related to body culture that are approached in this discipline.

An Explanatory Model of Sport Motivation, Physical Self-Concept and Anxiety as a Function of the Degree of Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in Future Physical Education Teachers.

The present research has the objectives of establishing the relationship between motivational climate towards sport, anxiety, and physical self-concept, and identifying the existing relationships between anxiety, motivational climate, and physical self-concept, broken down into (a) developing an explanatory model of the motivational climate towards sport and its relationship with anxiety and physical self-concept, and (b) contrasting the structural model by means of a multi-group analysis according to the degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet. A quantitative, comparative, non-experimental (ex post facto), cross-sectional study was carried out with a total sample of 556 participants (23.06 ± 6.23). The instruments used were an ad hoc questionnaire and the Spanish versions of the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire 2, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Self-Concept Form-5, and the PREDIMED questionnaire. The data reveal that participants who show high adherence to the Mediterranean diet attain higher scores on physical self-concept and anxiety, as well as ego-climate. As a conclusion, it is observed that participants who show a high adherence to the Mediterranean diet show higher scores in physical self-concept and anxiety, as well as in all the variables that make up the ego-climate.

Cross-validation and modifications of the perceived mattering questionnaire-Physical education in Chinese inservice physical education teachers.

This study aimed to provide evidence of validity and reliability for the Perceived Mattering Questionnaire-Physical Education (PMQ-PE) developed by Richards et al. (2017) for the Chinese physical education (PE) teachers. The PMQ-PE consisted of two factors (i.e., PE matters and PE teacher matters) with four items in each, measuring four dimensions (attention, importance, dependence, and ego-extension). PMQ-PE in Chinese (PMQ-PEC) was validated among 1,278 elementary and secondary school PE teachers in China, of whom 59.0% were secondary PE teachers and 70.2% were males. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with the entire sample found a poor model fit. Then exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using half of the sample indicated there was only one factor in PMQ-PEC. CFA of the other half of the sample suggested a one-factor model with the elimination of three unfitted items showed a better fitness to the data. Cronbach's alpha value was also acceptable. The final version of PMQ-PEC included five items with one factor that demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability and was deemed acceptable among Chinese PE teachers after the above modifications were made.

Factor Structure of the Korean Version of the Occupational Socialization of Beginning Physical Education Teachers Scale in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Relationship with Health Perception Education.

This study aimed to explore the factor structure of the Korean version of the occupational socialization of beginning physical education teachers scale, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and to verify its relationship with health perception education. In October 2021, 257 Korean beginning physical education teachers were enrolled in this study. Data were analyzed using frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Regarding the findings, first, the occupational socialization of beginning physical education teachers scale showed a six-factor structure: role recognition, past physical education class experience, pre-service teacher education, organizational atmosphere, fellow physical education teachers, and sports facility. Second, occupational socialization of beginning physical education teachers showed a partial positive effect on health perception education. These results suggest that the Korean Metropolitan and Provincial Offices of Education and Korean schools should develop various methods to support and ensure the occupational socialization of beginning physical education teachers. Such efforts may enable these new professionals to effectively adapt to their schools, teaching roles, and provide effective health education to students under the difficult context of the COVID-19 pandemic, wherein normal educational activities are hindered.

Evaluation of competency and job satisfaction by positive human psychology among physical education teachers at the university level: A systematic review.

The study aimed to determine how a teacher's competency at the university level related to professional commitment and job satisfaction. This systematic review intends to determine physical education teachers' competency and job satisfaction. One of the main objectives of physical education programs is to increase various activities of the student, especially physical activities and participation in it. Students who participate in physical activities feel a variety of emotions, and these may enhance their mental and physical well-being. The study concerns the teachers' satisfaction in effectively influencing and teaching the students. Job satisfaction refers to teachers' feelings and positive attitudes toward their work. The five components of job satisfaction are pay, promotion, supervision, co-workers, and work itself. Job satisfaction is broken down into these five components. Work as a teacher is one of the most important components of a teacher's or teacher's success at work and one of the key criteria for the school's achievement. Electronic libraries were explored, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Embase, Bing Academic, and Cochrane. Appropriate keywords were used for searching the literature. By applying certain inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final studies were selected for evaluation. The study's findings showed that physical education instructors had high levels of teaching competence and moderate levels of job satisfaction. The findings demonstrated that job satisfaction and competency rise when degree levels rise, and relatedness, skill, and autonomy self-motivation ensue. Students' motivation for physical education was greatly influenced by the teachers' support, motivation, and mastery climate. The self-determination theory positively enhances physical education from the teacher's perspective on PE, increasing instruction effectiveness.

Occupational Burnout Prevalence and Its Determinants Among Physical Education Teachers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Burnout can be defined as an occupational syndrome resulting from poorly managed chronic workplace stress. It is characterized by three dimensions: feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one's job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and reduced professional efficacy. Teachers are among the human service professionals particularly vulnerable to occupational burnout. Teaching is a highly demanding and challenging task, in that requires constant confrontation with different stakeholders (students and their parents, administrators). Among teachers, physical education teachers have been particularly understudied even though a recently published systematic review has found that they are exposed to high levels of stress. To better explore burnout syndrome among physical education teachers, the present systematic review was undertaken, searching up to six languages. Fifty-six studies were included in the present review. The reported rate of high emotional exhaustion ranged from 11.52 to 60.6%, according to the single study. Pooling together 12 studies and totaling 2,153 physical education teachers, the prevalence rate of high emotional exhaustion was computed to be 28.6 [95% CI 21.9-35.8]. The reported rate of high depersonalization ranged from 3.6 to 45.2%, according to the single study. Pooling together 11 studies and totaling 2,113 physical education teachers, the prevalence rate of high depersonalization was computed to be 14.5% [95% CI 8.0-22.4]. The reported rate of low personal accomplishment ranged from 13.63 to 55.6%, according to the single study. Pooling together 12 studies and totaling 2,153 physical education teachers, the prevalence rate of low personal accomplishment was computed to be 29.5% [95% CI 23.8-35.4]. The reported rate of overall burnout ranged from 10.0 to 51.6%, according to the single study. Pooling together 7 studies and totaling 1,101 physical education teachers, the prevalence rate of overall burnout was computed to be 23.9% [95% CI 13.6-36.0]. No evidence of publication bias could be found, both visually inspecting the funnel plot and conducting the Egger's linear regression test. Burnout imposes a significant burden among physical education teachers. Based on the information contained in the present systematic review and meta-analysis, tailored interventions could be designed to mitigate such a burden. However, due to the limitations of the studies included in the present systematic review and meta-analysis, further research in the field is urgently warranted.

Determinants of increased frequency of depressive and anxiety symptoms in exercise professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic.

BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has affected workers in different health services including exercise professionals (EP). The urgent need to adapt in-person to online activities might have led to increased frequency of anxiety and depressive symptoms. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify the determinants of aggravated depressive and anxiety symptoms in EP in southern Brazil during social distancing from the COVID-19. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with EP who worked at fitness centers, sports clubs, private schools, or at a public exercise program offered by the municipal council. We used an online-based, self-administered, adapted version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale to compare symptoms of depression and anxiety pre- and during social distancing. RESULTS: Participants (n = 201) had a mean age of 32.7±8.0 years, with more than half being male, white, and having an university degree. We observed that 81%and 71%of respondents reported higher frequency in anxiety and depression symptoms, respectively, during social distancing than in the period before it. Physical education teachers, women, non-white professionals, and those with chronic disease were more likely to worsen anxiety symptoms. Women had higher odds to increased frequency in depressive symptoms. Physical activity and previous experience with internet-based tools for working activities reduced the risk of increased depressive symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Sex, ethnicity, chronic diseases, educational level, physical activity, and experience with online tools were determinants for increased frequency of depression and anxiety symptoms in EP.

The construction of a professional model of physical education teachers in colleges and universities from the perspective of public health service / Construção de um modelo profissional de professores de educação física em faculdades e universidades sob a perspectiva do serviço de saúde pública / Construcción del modelo profesional de docentes de educación física en colegios y universidades desde la perspectiva del servicio de salud pública

ABSTRACT With the continuous improvement of people's material living standards, public health and national fitness has become a social topic, and has been widely concerned by the public, in terms of the traditional physical education and impact of the concept of health. This not only needs the school to carry on the multi-directional adjustment to the physical education teaching, but also needs the physical education teacher to respond positively to this in order to adapt to the development needs of the times and society. This study uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to construct the professionalization model of physical education teachers in Colleges and Universities, and makes decision on the index weight of the model through fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. The results show that the weight of the first-class indicators of P.E. Teachers' professionalization model from large to small is ability > quality > knowledge, and the consistency ratio (CR) of the model indicators is less than 0.1, and the fuzzy score of the model is 85 points. Therefore, the model of P.E. Teachers' professionalization constructed in this study has consistent indicators and shows good applicability. This does not only provide the basis for the professional development evaluation of College PE teachers, but also provides research ideas for the development of the sports industry from the perspective of public health.

RESUMO Com a melhoria contínua dos padrões de vida materiais das pessoas, a saúde pública e a saúde nacional tornaram-se um tema social, e tem sido amplamente discutido pelo público, em termos de educação física tradicional e impacto do conceito de saúde, que depende não só da escola para continuar o ajuste multidirecional para o ensino de educação física, mas também precisa do professor de educação física para dar uma resposta positiva a isso, a fim de se adaptar às necessidades de desenvolvimento dos tempos e da sociedade. Este estudo utiliza o processo hierárquico analítico (AHP) para construir o modelo de profissionalização dos professores de educação física em faculdades e universidades, e toma uma decisão sobre o peso do índice do modelo através de uma avaliação abrangente. Os resultados mostram que o peso dos indicadores de primeira classe do modelo de profissionalização dos professores de grande para pequeno é a capacidade > qualidade > conhecimento, e a razão de consistência dos indicadores do modelo é menor que 0.1, e a pontuação difusa do modelo é 85 pontos. Assim, o modelo de profissionalização dos professores de educação física, construído neste estudo, tem boa consistência de indicadores e mostra boa aplicabilidade. Isto não só proporciona a base para a avaliação do desenvolvimento profissional dos professores universitários de educação física, mas também fornece ideias de investigação para o desenvolvimento da indústria desportiva sob a perspectiva da saúde pública.

RESUMEN Con la mejora continua del nivel de vida material de las personas, la salud pública y la buena condición física nacional se han convertido en un tema social, y han sido motivo de una amplia preocupación en la población, con respecto a la educación física tradicional y su impacto en el concepto de salud. Esto no solo necesita que la escuela lleve a cabo el ajuste multidireccional de la enseñanza de educación física, sino también que el docente de educación física responda positivamente para adaptarse a las necesidades de desarrollo de los tiempos y la sociedad. Este estudio utiliza el proceso de jerarquía analítica (PJA) para construir el modelo de profesionalización de los docentes de educación física en los colegios y universidades, y analiza el peso del índice del modelo a través de una evaluación integral difusa. Los resultados muestran el peso de los indicadores de primera clase del modelo de profesionalización de los docentes, de mayor a menor, es capacidad> calidad> conocimiento, y el índice de consistencia (IC) de los indicadores del modelo es menor a 0.1, y la puntuación difusa del modelo es de 85 puntos. Por tanto, el modelo de profesionalización docente construido en este estudio tiene indicadores consistentes y muestra buena aplicabilidad. Esto no solo proporciona la base para la evaluación del desarrollo profesional de los profesores de educación física universitaria, sino que también ofrece ideas de investigación para el desarrollo de la industria del deporte desde la perspectiva de la salud pública.

Os professores de educação física e as práticas pedagógicas dos temas transversais com os alunos do ensino básico de escolas públicas / The physical education teachers and their relationships to transversal themeswhit primary school students of public school / Profesores de educación física y sus relaciones con temas transversales con estudiantes en escuelas públicas

Muito se discute sobre a importância de abordar determina-dos assuntos com as crianças e os adolescentes, dentre eles estão a se-xualidade, as drogas, a violência doméstica e o preconceito. Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram: verificar como os professores de Educação Física tratam assuntos transversais com seus alunos e investigar a prática pe-dagógica desses professores em relação a esses temas. A amostra foi composta por 10 professores de Educação Física. O instrumento da pes-quisa foi um questionário com perguntas abertas descritivas e fechadas objetivas. Com esta pesquisa foi observado que os professores tratam pouco desses assuntos em aula com seus alunos, pois têm dificuldades em abordar muitos desses temas, porém, quando isso é conversado, a metodologia que a maioria prefere utilizar se dá por meio de rodas de conversas, debates e/ou trabalhos.

Much is discussed about the importance of addressing certain issues with children and adolescents, among them are sexuality, drugs, domestic violence and prejudice. The objectives of this research were: To verify how Physical Education teachers treat transversal subjects with their students and to investigate the Physical Education teacher's pedagogical practice in relation to transversal themes. The sample consisted of 10 Physical Education teachers. The research instrument was a questionnaire with open descriptive and objective closed questions. With this research it was observed that teachers deal little of these subjects in the classroom with their students, because many of these themes they have difficulties in approaching, but when talked about, the methodology that most use is through conversation circles, debates and works.

O trabalho docente nas escolinhas esportivas: experiências narradas na escola / Teaching work in sports schools: experiences narratedin school / El trabajo docente en escuelas deportivas: experienciasrelatadas en el colegio

Este texto tematiza as experiências docentes dos Professores de Educação Física que ensinam o esporte como atividade opcional em uma escola da rede privada de Porto Alegre. O estudo foi realizado através de uma pesquisa narrativa, tendo a produção das informações sido realizada por meio de entrevistas e observações de participantes registradas em diário de campo e análise de documentos entre os meses de outubro e dezembro de 2019. A análise das informações nos permitiu compreender que os Professores colaboradores do estudo percebem seu trabalho dentro de um contexto de "não lugar" de atuação docente. A construção das experiências docentes desses professores perpassa suas histórias de vida com o esporte e está fortemente ligada à cultura escolar em que estão inseridos.
