Challenges and Coping Strategies in Teaching Physical Education During Covid-19 Educational Disruption

This study developed intervention strategies to address the issues faced by teachers.It specifically addressed the following questions: 1) the challenges that P.E teachers have when teaching P.E in online classes during the coronavirus epidemic, and 2) the coping mechanisms used by Physical Education Teachers in online classes.The study used a descriptive-correlational method with a questionnaire to collect information from thirty Physical Education Teachers at Camarines Norte State College who taught Physical Education subjects throughout the Academic Year 2021-2022.The acquired data were statistically handled using the Weighted Mean, Pearson's Coefficient of Correlation, and Coefficient of Determination.Based on the findings, assessing students' academic performance is the most difficult task for Physical Education Teachers in online classrooms, and five coping techniques were implemented: positive well-being, time management, openness to change, peer mentorship, and teamwork.In order to establish a quality of instruction in the university's physical education department using online teaching methods, an intervention plan was developed to bridge the gap and improve the teachers' areas of concern.A comparable study can be conducted using an online learning modality to assess student performance in the field of physical education in connection to PE training.
