Background: The emphasis on holistic development in school has significantly changed in recent years, placing equal emphasis on academic success and physical and mental well-being. This change has led to a critical analysis of the teaching of sports in schools, which has historically placed a strong emphasis on competitive and performance-oriented goals. Growing worries about the health, involvement, and general development of students highlight the need for reform in school sports instruction.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine and assess current reform efforts in school Sports instruction in light of the emerging educational paradigm. Finding workable solutions to raise the standard of sports instruction, increase student engagement, and promote a more inclusive and comprehensive approach to physical education are the goals.
Method: Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys. Information was gathered from a wide range of educational institutions' instructors, students, and policy officials. Analyzing survey data on existing sports curriculum, instructional strategies, and student attitudes toward physical education comprised the quantitative component. In-depth interviews were a part of the qualitative component, which aimed to provide insights into the difficulties and achievements faced by reforming schools.
Findings: The study presents a number of important conclusions: First, the necessity of switching from conventional, competition-focused models to more inclusive and diversified sports programs that accommodate a range of interests and ability levels is becoming increasingly apparent. Second, the incorporation of contemporary pedagogical strategies that encourage higher levels of engagement and enjoyment—like cooperative learning and student-centered activities—marks effective reforms. Third, there are still issues like scarce resources and opposition to change, but creative solutions and helpful legislation have made progress toward getting past these obstacles. Overall, the study emphasizes how crucial it is for educators to continue their professional development and how systemic support is required to maintain successful reforms in the teaching of sports in schools. This study offers insightful information to stakeholders, educators, and policymakers that want to improve.
