“…The participants' suggestion for the inclusion of intercultural education both in undergraduate studies and in the training of in-service PE teachers is in line with the implications of a previous study (Young, 2010). More interestingly, participants of the present study suggested that the training program include knowledge related to critical awareness, skill development, and strategies for building competence, which is in line with past literature (Chepyator- Thomson et al, 2000;Wyant, Tsuda, & Yeats, 2020), as is their suggestion that various games and activities from around the world could be effective tools for the development of intercultural competence (Puente-Maxera et al, 2020). An on-site training program with these features could help PE teachers and coaches improve their ability to promote the inclusion of refugees (Derri et al, 2014) and also increase their self-efficacy as professionals (Hermans, 2002).…”

In recent years, European countries have become hosting destinations for thousands of people who have been forced to leave their home countries. Greece is one of the main European hosting countries of refugees, especially children. Thus, the pupil population is gradually changing and the need for intercultural education is increasing. Physical education (PE) and sports have been recorded as suitable contexts for this process. However, there are still many challenges present in these contexts. The following study attempts to present the perceptions of PE teachers, coaches, and academics on the inclusion of refugees in PE and sports. Fifteen PE teachers/coaches and academics involved in the field of intercultural education participated in the study. A phenomenological approach was followed through semi-structured interviews. The method of thematic analysis was chosen to analyze the data. While all the participants considered PE and sports to be the most suitable contexts for the inclusion of refugees, they emphasized certain barriers to be overcome: the lack of training for PE teachers and coaches, prejudices of the parents of both natives and refugees, and refugees’ socioeconomic status and gender issues. Participants also shared their ideas for an adequate training program to improve PE teachers’ and coaches’ attitudes and promote their knowledge and skills regarding the inclusion of refugees. The participants underlined the need for intercultural education and well-structured training programs to properly manage culturally diverse environments.

“…It has been suggested to provide richer experiences than traditional PE approaches due to its focus on transferable skills, social competences, or applicable knowledge [25,26]. Recently, different studies have found that the implementation of this methodology can bring specific benefits for students such as social development and inclusion [27], content learning and development of responsibilities [28], intercultural understanding and friendship goals [29], or teamwork abilities [30]. Interestingly, a recent study indicated that, regardless of the adaptations that different teachers might make to implement the SEM, the use of this methodology can provide quality learning experiences to students [31].…”

The sport education model (SEM) has been suggested to have a positive impact on students’ motivational processes within the physical education setting. However, there is no evidence about how this methodology can affect such processes in the unconventional scenario provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of a SEM-based teaching intervention on students’ basic psychological needs (BPN), intrinsic motivation, and behavioral engagement in physical education. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental study was carried out in which two groups of secondary students (Mage = 14.61, SD = 0.5) were taught a basketball unit following either the SEM or traditional teaching. Previously validated questionnaires were administered both before and after the intervention. The results showed that students following the SEM methodology significantly improved their autonomy satisfaction (MPre = 3.09 vs. Mpost = 3.63), competence satisfaction (Mpre = 3.48 vs. Mpost = 4.17), and relatedness satisfaction (MPre = 3.79 vs. MPost = 4.43), as well as their behavioral engagement (MPre = 4.05 vs. MPost = 4.48), while students in the control group reported lower relatedness satisfaction after (M = 3.54) than before (M = 4.13) the intervention. This study thus contributes to the understanding of how teaching in a COVID-19 scenario has affected students’ motivational responses, and interesting implications for the current situation are provided.

“…us, there is a need to combine the traditional education model with the mainstream of the times to cultivate qualified modern social talents. Besides, informatization or digitalization has become the inevitable trend of traditional educational reform, which is reflected in many aspects [20,21]. e blackboard-centered traditional teaching method is inflexible and presents very limited content under today's information explosion age, which seldom involves state-of-art information or technologies.…”

The research aims to provide ideas for improving college students’ physical quality in China. Firstly, the theories of the Delphi method and Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) are introduced, and the basic process of the Delphi method is deduced. Secondly, the intelligent college Physical Education (PE) is discussed under the Delphi method combined with CAI, and the CAI-added Delphi method-based PE teaching model is proposed. The model verification results show that the proposed model presents an excellent teaching effect by combining intuitive expression and flexible courseware with higher teaching efficiency. As a result, students who have difficulty mastering the essentials of sports actions have shown significant improvement after CAI PE. Meanwhile, the teaching method of CAI is more flexible compared with traditional methods, especially, on-blackboard projection. The proposed teaching model is more vivid and memorable thanks to the video presentations voiced over by teachers. CAI can significantly improve students’ interests in sports and their sports performance. Meanwhile, the CAI PE teaching system is more suitable for theoretical knowledge instruction by replacing the dull teacher-centered word interpretation with vivid and intuitive video presentations voiced over by teachers. Therefore, the proposed CAI-added Delphi method-based PE teaching model has certain feasibility and plays a significant role in promoting PE teaching quality in China.
