Abstract

This research aimed to examine the opinions of physical education teachers regarding physical education and sports curriculum. In this context, the Physical Education and Sports Lesson Curriculum (Grades 5-8) and the Secondary School Physical Education and Sports Lesson Curriculum (Grades 9-12) prepared by the Ministry of National Education in 2018 were selected as targets to be evaluated by teachers. Therefore, the Physical Education and Sports Lesson Curriculum (5-8th Grades) and the High School Physical Education and Sports Lesson Curriculum (9-12th Grades) prepared by the Ministry of National Education in 2018 were chosen as the target. In the research, case study design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. 16 Physical Education Teachers working in schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the 2023/2024 academic year, selected by purposeful sampling method, participated in the research. A “semi-structured interview form” consisting of four questions prepared by the researcher was used as a data collection tool in the study. “Saturate App”, a web-based qualitative analysis tool, was used in the analysis of the research. After the research, it was seen that a two-themed structure was formed: “Program Approaches” and “Implementation Barriers”. As a result of the research, it was concluded that Physical Education and Sports Lesson Curriculums have sufficiencies and inadequacies in terms of content, and factors such as lack of lesson hours, field/material deficiencies, and negative geographical conditions make the implementation of the curriculum difficult. In this context, it is recommended to review the Physical Education and Sports Curriculum according to modern needs and to ensure the necessary physical conditions and international accreditations to implement the curriculum.
