Abstract
Effective interaction between parents and physical education teachers plays a significant role in promoting students' physical and mental health as well as their social-emotional development. However, certain factors can either limit or enhance this interaction. This qualitative study aimed to explore the factors influencing parent-teacher interactions from the perspective of physical education teachers. The research is applied in purpose and employs a qualitative, descriptive phenomenological approach. Sixteen physical education teachers were selected using criterion-based purposive sampling, and data were collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Data analysis was conducted using the seven-step Colaizzi method including thorough review of interview transcripts and identification of core structures, supported by MAXQDA software version 2020. Findings revealed that key factors included psychological characteristics, communication and cooperation, meeting participation, economic factors, sports facilities and equipment, familiarity with physical education goals, awareness of health status, and awareness of physical condition. Additionally, 31 sub-factors were identified. Overall, it is recommended that the education system utilize these identified factors to foster effective interactions between physical education teachers and parents, and implement training sessions to promote constructive communication between them.
