Abstract
Promoting quality physical education (QPE), regarded as the best way to induce quality
learning among children and adolescents, has received widespread attention. This study
contributes to the discourse on QPE by conducting a study in mainland China that involved
437 physical education (PE) professionals from six administrative divisions of 30
provinces. The research adopted the questionnaire initially developed by the QPE research
team from the International Society for Comparative Physical Education and
Sport in 2018. Results indicated an overall mean of 7.39 in the QPE development. The
highest mean score was 7.73 in the Skill Development and Bodily Awareness (SDBA) dimension,
and the lowest was 7.14 in Plans for Feasibility and Accessibility of PE (PFAPE).
PE professionals with less work experience scored higher on the overall development of
QPE and the eight dimensions. The QPE scores of East China and Central South China
in all eight dimensions were significantly higher than those of Northwest China. These
findings indicate the importance of enhancing cognitive functioning strategies in developing
QPE in mainland China. Recommendations include using a resource-input and intentional
intervention model to investigate the differences in QPE development among
the regions in China.
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.
