Development and examination of an assessment tool of effective teaching in physical education
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop and examine an evaluation tool of effective teaching of physical education teachers. An observation protocol with six thematic units and 25 criteria was created, with which 22 elementary school teachers from the prefectures of Pella, Imathia, and Thessaloniki were evaluated (14 men and 8 women). Specifically, their teaching in 2nd and 5th grade was observed, and a total of 88 lessons (44 for each grade) were videotaped. Descriptive statistics, chi-square (x2) test and independent measures t-test were used for data analysis. Also, the internal consistency of the protocol was examined by calculating the coefficient alpha of Cronbach. The results showed that the protocol is a valid and reliable tool, as it distinguished the teaching practice of the teachers in the six thematic units for both grades. It can be concluded that the observation protocol can be used for the evaluation of the teachers since its six thematic units capture the core of the theoretical structure of effective teaching in physical education.References
