Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 43
Abstract
The objective of this study is to better understand the current position of Physical education (PE) in Kosovo upper -secondary schools. The participants of this study were four PE teachers (males=3; females=1) from four secondary schools, with 5 to 42 years of PE teaching experience. This research used a qualitative approach to identify concerns, causes and possible teacher-proposed interventions to address the school –based PE issues. In-depth Interviews, document analysis and observations were the methods used to collect data. Results of the study indicates that the lack of facilities and sport equipment (Gym and sport requisites), lower priority given to PE by schools are main concerns of the PE teachers involved in Kosovo’ Education system. Currently most in-service PE teachers do not have the competencies and knowledge in teaching health and wellbeing based on the new National Curriculum Framework and according to international standards. These findings of the study can assist all Kosovo schools in identifying the importance of PE in high schools, and students’ needs in order to implement their healthy lifestyles.
