Abstract

Schools can support physical education (PE) among students with mobility disabilities (SMDs). However, previous research has indicated that people and resources in the school environment have served as facilitators and barriers to engaging SMDs in PE. Thus, the purpose of this pragmatic, qualitative study was to explore physical educators' perceptions and experiences of teaching SMDs to learn how to develop a PE environment supportive of SMDs. Eleven K-8 PE teachers who taught SMDs engaged in semistructured interviews. A thematic analysis revealed three themes describing facilitators and barriers of a supportive PE environment for SMDs: (a) teacher planning, (b) students in the PE environment, and (c) resources and support. These findings provide context to PE environments for SMDs and highlight a need for increased communication and collaboration with students with or without mobility disabilities, training or professional development for PE teachers to develop skills for adapted PE, and financial and personnel support.

体育教育者对行动障碍学生教学的认知与经验。

学校可以支持行动障碍学生的体育教育。然而，先前的研究表明，学校环境中的人和资源既是促进因素，也是阻碍smd参与体育活动的因素。因此，本实用主义定性研究的目的是探讨体育教育者对中小学生教学的看法和经验，以学习如何开发一个支持中小学生的体育环境。11名教中小学生的K-8体育教师进行了半结构化访谈。一项专题分析揭示了三个主题，描述了支持性体育环境对中小学生的促进因素和障碍:(A)教师规划，(b)体育环境中的学生，以及(c)资源和支持。这些发现为中小学生的体育环境提供了背景，并强调需要加强与有或没有行动障碍的学生的沟通和合作，需要对体育教师进行培训或专业发展，以培养适应体育的技能，以及需要财政和人员支持。

期刊介绍： APAQ is an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal designed to stimulate and communicate scholarly inquiry relating to physical activity that is adapted in order to enable and enhance performance and participation in people with disability. Physical activity implies fine, gross, functional, and interpretive movement including physical education, recreation, exercise, sport, and dance. The focus of adaptation may be the activity or task that is to be performed, environment and facilities, equipment, instructional methodology, and/or rules governing the performance setting. Among the populations considered are persons with motor, intellectual, sensory, and mental or other disabilities across the life span. Disciplines from which scholarship to this aim may originate include, but are not limited to, physical education, teacher preparation, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology, and exercise and sport psychology. Scientific inquiry may originate from quantitative or qualitative inquiry, as well as from multimethod designs.
