Abstract

Finding the best teaching methods to help children development and improvement is essential. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to discover the factors related to education from the perspective of children, teachers and sport sciences professors. The statistical population of this study was all elementary school children in Asadabad, Hamadan, physical education teachers with at least 20 years of experience, and physical education professors with at least a university degree in Iran. To conduct this study, based on theoretical saturation and a purposeful method, 10 children, 10 teachers, and 8 professors were interviewed. In this regard, the results of the offline semi-structured interview of this study showed that children consider appropriate education in the game, lack of teacher intervention, lack of verbal explanation, and correct judgment. According to teachers, games, use of equipment and feedback should be used in proper education, and professors also considered games, environment manipulation and verbal explanation to be effective for proper education. As a general conclusion, the results of this study emphasize the manipulation of constraints and games that are related to the principles of ecological dynamics methods. However, the important result of this study is the gap between the opinion of children and teachers/professors about education; Because teachers/professors still emphasize verbal feedback and explanation; But children do not consider these things appropriate in education.
