Green Economy as an Approach to Developing the Physical Education Curriculum System: A Future Vision to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals Objective: The study aims to explore the integration of green economy principles into physical education curricula, focusing on environmental sustainability and education for sustainable development. It provides a proposed framework for incorporating green economy dimensions into physical education programs to contribute to both environmental and educational goals. Measurement Tools: 1. Content Analysis: Analysis of current physical education curricula to evaluate the presence of green economy concepts. 2. Surveys/Questionnaires: Distributed among educators and stakeholders to assess awareness and practices regarding sustainability in physical education. 3. Case Studies: Review of international best practices and green initiatives in sports and education to develop a suitable framework for curriculum development. Key Findings: 1. Lack of Green Economy Integration: Physical education curricula at the pre-university level do not adequately incorporate green economy concepts, such as resource efficiency, renewable energy, and waste management. 2. Absence of Environmental-Related Activities: There is a noticeable gap in environmental-oriented educational activities within physical education programs. 3. Limited Assessment Tools: Current assessment methods do not measure students’ environmental awareness or their application of sustainable practices within sports contexts. 4. Insufficient Teacher Preparation: Teacher training programs do not sufficiently prepare educators to integrate green economy principles into physical education lessons and activities. Recommendations: 1. Revise Physical Education Curricula: Develop curriculum content that includes green economy concepts, such as recycling, clean energy, environmental health, and reducing carbon footprints. | ||||
