Emerging Physical Education Teaching Strategies and Students’ Academic Performance: Basis for a Development Program

This study was conducted to determine the extent of the identified emerging physical education teaching strategies and their relation to students' academic performance in PE. The descriptive- correlational research design which made use of a researcher’s made questionnaire was employed on the selected Physical Education teachers from CPSU System. A quota of five students for each teacher was also asked to answer the same set of questionnaires to measure the extent of the identified teaching strategies as perceived by them and the test of concordance as stipulated in the statement of the problem of this study. Results revealed that the majority of the respondents were below 30 years old, sex in favor female, most were part-time teachers, the majority had served in teaching for below 10 years and most have units in their master’s degree/ graduated. PE teachers had a very high extent of implementation of the five strategies except for self- instructional strategies. Students perceived all strategies with high extent results. Students’ academic performance in PE was rated very satisfactory based on the institutional grading system of CPSU and verbal interpretation was adopted and patterned from DepEd Order Number 8, series of 2015. Only self- instructional strategies were proven to have a highly significant and significant difference in terms of teaching status and educational attainment respectively. Students’ academic performance in PE gained a highly significant difference with sex. Cooperative teaching and practice strategies were significantly concorded as perceived by teachers and students. Only the interactive teaching exposed a highly significant relationship with students’ academic performance in PE. Teaching strategies play a significant role in delivering and transporting the competencies in physical education courses. Hence, teachers are encouraged and must look for the most suitable and effective teaching strategies in physical education that are compatible with all types of students.
