An Exploration of a Reflective Evaluation Tool for the Teaching Competency of Pre-Service Physical Education Teachers in Korea

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an evaluation tool that could help pre-service teachers develop their teaching skills. As for the research method, the Delphi technique was used to collect opinions from physical education professor evaluation experts. The survey was conducted three times and various opinions of experts were collected and analyzed. The newly constructed evaluation tool consists of 46 questions for class preparation (the creation of the learning environment), the introduction (routine activities, learning goals, and task presentation), development (class strategy, observation and interaction, and the maintenance of the learning environment), and conclusion (routine activities, summary, and closure). It was designed to increase the accuracy of evaluation by developing evaluation criteria for each question. An evaluation tool including quantitative and qualitative methods for use in pre-service physical education teacher education was developed. The significance of this study is the development of an effective evaluation tool that can evaluate the core teaching behaviors in the field of physical education. This evaluation tool should be used as a learning tool that includes planning, operation, evaluation, and seeking improvement measures through reflective activities. If pre-service teacher education institutions apply this evaluation tool in their teacher training programs, it would be a great chance to learn how to develop and sustain teaching abilities and effectiveness.

Exploring Skills in Observing Teaching Competency through Video Evaluation of Class Demonstrations by Pre-service Physical Education Teachers

“…After all class demonstrations, we evaluated the videos of class demonstrations by pre-service teachers in the classroom in the 14th session. The class with the best systematic plan and operation was selected and then evaluated by three experienced PE teachers, using the pre-service PE teacher teaching competency evaluation tool [23]. The specific evaluation tool item standards are shown in Table 1.…”

“…Our study aimed to evaluate class demonstrations conducted by pre-service PE teachers and identify their level of practical teaching knowledge. We selected videos of class demonstrations by pre-service PE teachers conducted in PE teaching method and evaluated these using the teaching competency evaluation tool developed by Kim and Kwak [23]. Specifically, we aimed to compare the evaluation results of pre-service PE teachers and field teachers to identify their class observation skills.…”

Analysis of Artificial Intelligence Technology and Its Application in Improving the Effectiveness of Physical Education Teaching

“…Autoencoder (AE) networks are used very frequently in anomalous-behavior detection for constantfeature learning, and in the setting of unsupervised methods, AE is a powerful tool for processing highdimensional data. Kim & Kwak (2022) designed a generic framework where the overall architecture is a deep autoencoder with parameter-density estimation used to improve the memory efficiency and minimize the reconstruction error of normal samples, where the parameter-density estimation learns the probability distribution of potential representations through an autoregressive process joint optimization of reconstruction errors and probability distributions to finally obtain anomaly scores. Chiew et al (2019) use two-dimensional human skeletal trajectories to detect abnormal events associated with human behavior.…”

Evaluation elements of regional balanced development of compulsory education combined with the deviation-maximisation approach

“…Education development is the cornerstone of social development, the development of compulsory education is the top priority, and balanced development and its development of strategic tasks is the current strategic choice for the development of education, is the implementation of the scientific concept of development, the inevitable requirements of building a harmonious society [1][2][3].…”
