Opinions about the content of the anatomy course of future physical education teachers and their ability to apply what they have learned in professional activities

Abstract

Abstract

The behaviours gained in graduate education should be used in their professional life. As a result of the literature review, it is concluded that physical education teachers have problems in transferring knowledge in their professional competence. The opinions of physical education teachers about the education they received at the university are important in terms of investigating the source of this problem. Anatomy is about the body. The achievements of the anatomy course and the applicability of these gains are very important. This research was conducted with last year students studying at the physical education department at the university. 48 pre-service teachers who took the Anatomy course, studying in the physical education department, participated in the research. Researchers were selected based on volunteerism. The qualitative research method was used in the research and the findings were supported by content analysis. 4 open-ended questions prepared by the researcher were prepared by taking expert opinions. The results obtained from the research show that the anatomy course is important for physical education, and the behaviours to be gained in this course will have to be used frequently in professional life. Again, it was concluded that explaining the anatomy course content as applied while preparing it will facilitate their learning. As a result of the results obtained from this research, the anatomy course taught in universities is an important course for the physical education profession. The method applied for the problems experienced in this course can be changed technically. In the anatomy course, which includes theory and practice, practice can eliminate the problems experienced.
