Practical class management problem and teachers’ coping strategies in physical education

The aim of this study was to assess practical class management problems and teachers' coping strategies in physical education in some selected public preparatory schools. The study was conducted through a descriptive survey design, and a purposive sampling technique was used to select three schools because of their experience of the schools, accessibility, and proximity to the researcher. A simple random sampling technique was also used to select participants from the population. Data was collected through a questionnaire, an interview, and observation. A total of 380 respondents participated as the source of data. 3 principals, 8 teachers, and 369 students were involved in the study. The data was collected, organized, analyzed, and interpreted using simple percentages, both quantitatively and qualitatively. The result obtained based on the data shows that the availability of playgrounds, sports fields, materials, and equipment is inadequate. The majority of teachers took many courses related to practical class management, and most teachers had rules and regulations for practical class that were set by only teachers. And reminding students of rules, having private discussions with them, communicating with their parents, and applying reinforcement were the mechanisms teachers used to deal with misbehaving students
