Training needs of physical education teachers in Jordan and their relationship to various variables
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to identify the training needs of physical education teachers in Jordan and explore their relationship with variables such as academic qualification and experience. A descriptive approach was used, with a questionnaire as the data collection tool, administered to a sample of 285 male and female teachers during the second semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The results, after conducting the necessary statistical analysis, revealed that physical education teachers in Jordan expressed a need for training in all the skills examined in the study, including teaching planning, classroom management, classroom environment, assessment tool development, and strategy implementation. Furthermore, the study found no statistically significant differences in training needs based on the variables of gender, academic qualification, or experience. These findings suggest that regardless of these factors, there is a consistent demand for professional development in physical education teaching practices in Jordan.
