Physical Education and Sport (PES) For Quality Teacher Education
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Whereas Physical Education and Sports (PES) have been reported to be crucial to learners, such claims have often been made without empirical support. Given this, this paper reports on a systematic review of the relevance of PES to learners. The review involved 20 empirical studies. Most studies were conducted in the United States, using quantitative research design and focusing on preschool to high school. The studies also demonstrated that PES improves academic performance, motivation, attention, and behaviour. It is recommended that PES be taken seriously at all levels of academics and integrated into the curriculum. While the studies reviewed did not involve higher educational institutions, the benefits can be extended to higher education institutions such as colleges of education and universities.
