Abstract: |
This research aims to evaluate the physical education curriculum implemented in Egyptian primary schools in light of the scientific foundations and principles of curriculum engineering. The researchers adopted a descriptive analytical approach using various data collection tools, including interviews, document analysis, and a scientifically constructed questionnaire targeted at physical education teachers, supervisors, and academic experts.
The research sample was drawn from two governorates: Sharqia and Dakahlia, comprising. • Exploratory sample: 73 teachers, 8 supervisors, 3 university professors, • Main sample: 813 teachers, 11 supervisors, 7 university professors
The findings of the study revealed the following:
1. Lack of curricular integration – goals, content, teaching methods, and assessment are not coherently aligned.
2. Unclear instructional goals – objectives are imprecise and insufficiently linked to learners’ needs.
3. Out-of-date content – material does not reflect recent developments in physical education or individual differences among pupils.
4. Traditional teaching strategies – heavy reliance on conventional methods, with little use of active, diversified approaches.
5. Inadequate assessment tools – existing evaluation methods do not capture cognitive, psychomotor, and affective outcomes comprehensively.
6. Shortage of facilities and equipment – many schools lack suitable apparatus, playgrounds, and spaces.
7. Insufficient teacher preparation – educators require ongoing professional development to implement the curriculum effectively.
8. Limited relevance to local context – curriculum design does not stem from pupils’ environments or community needs.
9. Neglect of psychosocial dimensions – emphasis rests mainly on motor skills, overlooking psychological and social growth.
10. Low curricular flexibility – the programme cannot readily adapt to school-level or learner-level changes.
