Abstract

Introduction: Physical education can contribute to the goals of education in many significance ways. First physical education makes a unique contribution to the development of the total person. It is the only area of the school curriculum that promotes the development in the psychomotor domain. Second a quality physical education program enhances the health and wellbeing of students. Students who are healthy can learn more effectively, have more energy to expend on educational tasks. One of the main objectives of a physical education program is to advance the general well-being of each student (Wuest and Bucher, 1995). Methods: The objective of this study  to assess the current status, challenges and the future prospects of physical education in the secondary schools of North Wollo zone. The sample consisted of 350 students and 7 physical education teachers drawn from three preparatory schools. The research methodology employed in the study was a descriptive survey. Questionnaires were the major data gathering instruments used in the study. Interview and observation were supportive data gathering instruments. Results: The results showed that students participation level and attitude towards physical education were low: high participation in physical education class and in different sport activities (97.35%), highly like to learn physical education class (21.17 %), high attitude towards physical education (13.23 %). Regarding to physical education curriculum: disagree on the existing curriculum of physical education satisfy needs of students (56.76 %), disagree on the contents of physical education can make you actively participate (57.35 %), instructional materials and facilities were adequate(strongly disagree, 52.64 %), the allotted time to physical education was not enough, physical education was not considered as basic subject. Conclusion: The findings show that students’ level of participation in physical education and in different sports and their attitude towards physical education was low in under study area. Instructional materials and facilities are the major factors for quality physical education in school. Moreover, it has been found that these ingredients were inadequately available in the schools under study. School facilities such as different play grounds, water to wash, different balls and different sport equipment were found to be insufficient.

埃塞俄比亚北沃罗地区高中体育教育现状、挑战及未来前景评估
体育教育对教育目标的实现具有多方面的意义。首先,体育教育对人的全面发展作出了独特的贡献。这是学校课程中唯一能促进精神运动领域发展的领域。第二,高质量的体育课程可以提高学生的健康和福祉。健康的学生可以更有效地学习,有更多的精力花在教育任务上。体育教育计划的主要目标之一是促进每个学生的整体福祉(Wuest和Bucher, 1995)。方法:本研究的目的是评估北沃罗地区中学体育教学的现状、挑战和未来前景。样本包括来自三所预科学校的350名学生和7名体育教师。本研究采用的研究方法为描述性调查。问卷调查是研究中使用的主要数据收集工具。访谈和观察是支持性的数据收集工具。结果:结果显示,小学生体育参与水平和体育态度较低,对体育课和各类体育活动的参与程度较高(97.35%),对体育课的学习程度较高(21.17%),对体育课的学习态度较高(13.23%)。对于体育课程:不同意现有的体育课程能满足学生的需要(56.76%),不同意体育课程的内容能让你积极参与(57.35%),不同意教学材料和设施是否充足(强烈不同意,52.64%),分配给体育的时间不够,体育没有被视为基础学科。结论:调查结果表明,研究区学生参与体育教育和各种体育项目的水平及对体育教育的态度较低。教学材料和教学设施是学校体育教学质量的主要因素。此外,已发现这些成分在所研究的学校中供应不足。学校设施,如不同的操场,水清洗,不同的球和不同的运动器材被发现不足。关键词:挑战,体育教育,现状与未来展望DOI: 10.7176/JTHS/47-02出版日期:2020年2月29日
