Abstract | ||||
This study sought to determine the challenges of classroom management faced by physical education teachers in public schools in Kuwait. The researchers used a descriptive approach to conduct the study and created a 28-item questionnaire across 3 main dimensions that express some of the difficulties that physical education teachers face when managing their classrooms: difficulties with students, difficulties with teachers, and difficulties with the curriculum. The questionnaire was distributed to 250 randomly selected math teachers from Kuwait’s 6 educational zones The findings revealed that, aside from the challenges related to teachers, the challenges physical education teachers experienced were moderate across all dimensions and the total score. No statistically significant differences emerged between the arithmetic means on the total score or any dimension, except teachers’ challenges, due to the gender variable. Moreover, no statistically significant differences occurred between the arithmetic means of the challenges due to the educational region or the school stage. Although statistically significant differences were identified for teachers’ challenges and curriculum challenges, no statistically significant differences occurred due to experience in the total score or students’ challenges. | ||||
