Abstract

Physical Education (PE) is an essential compulsory school subject requiring focused and sustained development. This study examined the understanding of Quality Physical Education (QPE) from the perspective of PE professionals primarily entrusted with implementing initiatives to develop QPE. A total of 2,191 individuals from 25 Asian cities participated in this study. They completed a validated QPE questionnaire consisting of 49 items distributed into eight dimensions. The variables of gender, work position, and years of experience were investigated in accounting for the differences in perceptions. The overall mean value for QPE was 7.32, with excellent internal consistency (a= .986). The results indicated similar trends in the perceptions of the QPE and evaluation of the items by professionals. No significant differences between genders and across work positions were found. However, significant differences were found among perceptions depending on the years of experience in teaching PE. Moreover, findings revealed the need for governmental support for research in PE and collaborative work at the international and national levels. This study contributes to the groundwork of policy analyses and strategic development in improving QPE in Asia.

从亚洲体育专业人员的角度理解优质体育教育

体育（PE）是学校的一门重要必修课，需要重点和持续地发展。本研究从主要负责实施优质体育教育发展计划的体育专业人员的角度，探讨了他们对优质体育教育的理解。共有来自 25 个亚洲城市的 2191 人参与了这项研究。他们填写了一份经过验证的 QPE 问卷，该问卷由 49 个项目组成，分为八个维度。性别、工作职位和工作年限等变量被用来解释认知差异。QPE 的总体平均值为 7.32，具有极好的内部一致性（a= 0.986）。结果表明，专业人员对 QPE 的看法和对项目的评价呈现出相似的趋势。没有发现不同性别和不同工作职位之间存在明显差异。然而，根据从事体育教学的年限，不同专业人员的看法存在明显差异。此外，研究结果表明，政府有必要支持体育研究，并在国际和国家层面开展合作。本研究为亚洲改善素质教育的政策分析和战略发展奠定了基础。

期刊介绍： International Sports Studies (ISS) is a scholarly journal in the field of physical education and sport with a unique focus. Its aim is to advance understanding and communication between members of the global community who share a professional, personal or scholarly interest in the state and development of physical education and sport around the world. International Sports Studies (ISS) is today without paradigmatic prejudice and reflects an eclectic approach to the task of understanding physical education and sport in the contemporary world. It asks only that its contributors can add to knowledge about international physical education and sport studies through studies involving comparisons between regional, national and international settings or by providing unique insights into specific national and local phenomena which contribute to an understanding that can be shared across as well as within national borders.
