20.500.12556/RUL-180548 Subject-specific competencies of Slovenian physical education teachers regarding gender and years of teaching Predmetno-specifične kompetence slovenskih učiteljev športne vzgoje glede na spol in delovno dobo This cross-sectional study was designed to analyse the subject-specific professional competencies of Slovenian physical education teachers (PETs) according to their gender and years of teaching. The participants evaluated their professional competencies (N=40) with self-administered questionnaire on a four-level Likert scale. Factor analysis is used for the examination of the internal structure of the competencies field and MANOVA is used to determine differences in belief statements about their competencies between three groups of PETs with different gender and years of teaching. There is a discrepancy in self-efficacy to teach physical education (PE) between PETs of both genders with less years of teaching (<10y) and those with more years of teaching (>20). Teachers with less years of teaching (<10y) evaluated their own competencies higher on the factor Teaching methods (p < .001), while teachers with more years of teaching (>20y) on the factor Pedagogical and motivational strategies (p < .001). Female PETs with more years of teaching (>20y) evaluated their General didactic knowledge higher than their male counterparts (p = .019), while men evaluated their competencies higher on the factor Social aspects of sport (p = .006). Regardless of gender, however, on the factor Social aspects of sport, PETs with more years of teaching (>20y) evaluated their competencies higher than their counterparts with less years of teaching (<10y) (p = .013). The results of the survey confirm the need for the reintroduction of internships, mentoring by more experienced teachers to colleagues with less seniority, and a systematic process of continuous professional development, especially for teacher trainers. Namen študije je bil ugotoviti predmetno-specifične poklicne kompetence slovenskih učiteljev športne vzgoje (UŠV) glede na spol in leta poučevanja. Udeleženci so svoje poklicne kompetence (N=40) ocenjevali z vprašalnikom na štiristopenjski Likertovi lestvici. Za preučevanje notranje strukture kompetenc je bila uporabljena faktorska analiza, za ugotavljanje razlik v kompetencah med spoloma in tremi skupinami UŠV z različno dolžino delovne dobe pa MANOVA. Obstajajo razlike pri samozaznavanju dejanske kompetentnosti pri poučevanju športne vzgoje med UŠV obeh spolov s krajšo delovno dobo (<10 let) in tistimi, ki poučujejo dalj časa (>20 let). Učitelji s krajšo delovno dobo (<10 let) so bolje ocenili svoje kompetence pri dejavnikih, ki sestavljajo faktor učne metode (p < ,001), učitelji z daljšo delovno dobo (>20 let) pa pri dejavnikih, ki pojasnjujejo faktor pedagoške in motivacijske strategije (p < .001). Učiteljice ŠV z daljšo delovno dobo (>20 let) svoje splošno didaktično znanje ocenjujejo višje kot njihovi moški kolegi (p = .019), medtem ko moški svoje kompetence višje ocenjujejo v dejavnikih, ki predstavljajo faktor socialni vidiki športa (p = .006). Ne glede na spol v tem faktorju UŠV z daljšo delovno dobo (>20 let) ocenjujejo svoje kompetence višje kot njihovi mlajši kolegi (<10 let) (p = .013). Rezultati raziskave nakazujejo, da potrebujemo ponovno uvedbo sistematičnega pripravništva, mentorstvo izkušenejših učiteljev manj izkušenim kolegom in dobro zasnovan proces stalnega strokovnega spopolnjevanja, zlasti za mlajše učitelje. sport physical educators self-evaluation competencies gender working experiences šport športni pedagog samozaznavanje kompetence spol delovna doba true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Podatek o licenci CC BY-SA 4.0 je naveden na pristajalni strani članka (glej zgoraj izvorni URL).
