This study aimed to identify the effectiveness of teaching the athletics program for young children (Kids Athletics) in the content of school PE curricula for grades (1-4) in the Sultanate of Oman from the point of view of PE teachers. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers used the descriptive approach by applying a questionnaire to measure the effectiveness of teaching the athletics program for young children on a sample of (378) male and female teachers for grades (1-4) in different educational governorates. The study found that the degree of effectiveness of teaching the athletics program for young children (Kids Athletics) from the teachers’ point of view is very large, reaching (4.30) and that the degree of teachers’ awareness of the program is very large, reaching (4.20), and the responses of the sample members about the availability of program implementation requirements reached (3.81), and there were no statistical differences at the level of significance (α = 0.05) between the arithmetic averages of teachers' responses to the effectiveness of teaching the program and teachers' awareness about the program according to academic qualifications and years of experience for teachers due to the variables of academic qualifications and years of experience for teachers. In light of the results of the study, the researchers recommend the importance of including the athletics program for youngsters (Kids Athletics)  in the curricula of the fifth and sixth grades of the school PE subject due to its importance and contribution to achieving the objectives of the subject and developing motor abilities, and the need to continue in the qualifying and training programs to develop the capabilities of PE teachers in teaching the program and to ensure that schools are equipped with the necessary equipment to teach the suggested program, and provide the requirements for its implementation within the academic units of the curriculum.

This study aims to identify the acquisition of linguistic competencies by pre-service physical education teachers at the College of Education, Sultan Qaboos University, and in-service physical education teachers in Muscat and Dhofar Governorates in Oman, as well as any statistical differences between these two groups. The population of the study consisted of 30 pre-service teachers and 28 in-service teachers. The observation card instrument was used to collect data. The results showed that the acquisition level of the linguistic competencies of pre-service physical education teachers was medium. However, the acquisition level of the linguistic competencies of in-service physical education teachers was high. Furthermore, there were significant differences between the acquisition level of linguistic competencies in pre-service and in-service teachers in favor of in-service teachers. Based on these findings, we recommend developing these competencies in pre-service teachers during the teacher education program by focusing particularly on planning, implementation, and assessment.

Purpose: Most research examining the effects of socialization on physical education teachers’ curricula is dated, has been incidental, and conducted in secondary schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of occupational socialization on the curricula delivered by elementary teachers. Methods: Participants were 10 teachers. Data were collected with six qualitative techniques and analyzed by employing standard interpretive methods. Findings and Discussion: Three groups of teachers were identified. These were nonteachers, conservatives, and progressives. The curricula they delivered varied greatly in terms of pedagogies and quality. Each teacher group was closely aligned to orientations for teaching and coaching, and these orientations were forged by the teachers’ socialization profiles. Conclusions: The findings provided clues as to how the cycle of poor and nonteaching might be broken in U.S. elementary schools. In addition, these findings served to potentially modify occupational socialization theory pertaining to physical education.

Within the physical education literature, there remains to be contentions between the effectiveness of sporting- and movement-based approaches. Whilst both have noted strengths and weaknesses, there is little research into whether either is leading to quality physical education in Australian elementary schools. This paper therefore examines two of the common models based approaches to teaching physical education in elementary schools against the five interrelated propositions of the Australian Curriculum to determine if either pedagogical approach is leading to quality physical education. This paper draws on current literature, curriculum frameworks and pedagogical recommendations to determine the value of a models based approaches to physical education in relation to quality. Examinations indicate that both the sports and movement based approaches can address the five key propositions that underpin the Australian Curriculum, however quality is dependent on appropriate implementation by qualified and skilled teachers. Teacher education and pedagogical knowledge is paramount for the implementation of quality physical education. Further investigation and exploratory research is required to determine if the model based approaches are being effectively being introduced by both generalist and specialist health and physical education teachers in elementary school settings.
