Abstract

The main purpose of the physical education course is to contribute to maximizing the physical, mental, social, and emotional development of children. In order for the Physical Education course to fulfill this function, there must be a healthy and harmonious relationship between the student teacher and the curriculum. Physical education programs are primarily affected by students who do physical education and sports, and the teacher who takes physical education classes. The aim of this research is to evaluate the views of physical education teachers working in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus according to the sub-dimensions of "Purpose", "Content", "Teaching Activities" and "Evaluation" of the 4th an5th-grade physical education curriculum.

The questionnaire form used as the data collection tool of the research consisted of four parts. While preparing the questionnaire, the "Purpose", "Content", "Teaching Activities" and "Evaluation" sub-dimensions of the physical education lesson program were taken into account. In the analysis of the quantitative data obtained from the research, descriptive statistics (arithmetic mean, standard deviation) were used. According to the results obtained in the research, the teachers expressed their opinions at the level of "I agree" on many aspects of the "Purpose", "Content", "Teaching Activities" and "Assessment" sections of the program. The most positive feature of the program is that the physical education and sports education program enables students to develop positive personal qualities as well as basic life skills. The most negative feature is that the content does not contain up-to-date information.
