Classroom teachers and administrators views of teaching health and physical education

The research discussed in this blog entry investigates classroom teachers’ and administrators’ views of teaching HPE, including physical activity behaviors, in primary schools in New Zealand. The findings support Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy that underpins teachers’ feelings towards achievement and successful outcomes. Moreover, this research brought understandings of common themes in developing strong HPE curriculum and its implementation within a school system.
