Abstract

The effectiveness of the physical education teaching process and the quality of physical education classes depends
on many factors. Well-selected and correctly applied teaching strategies and methods could have a positive
impact of the quality and effectiveness of the Physical and health education (PHE) teaching process. The
purpose of the study is to determine different teaching strategies and methods that teachers used in physical
education classes. The study sample was comprised from 134 generalist classroom teachers from 15 primary
schools in Macedonia. Teachers were included in the study that examined their attitudes regarded use of
different strategies and methods that they applied in different phases at PHE classes. According to the
obtained results, nearly all teachers (93%) use movement games on regular bases in first and last phase of
PHE classes, 83% use them in main part. Traditional movement games are often implemented in PHE
classes (44%). Music and technology are mainly used in main part of PHE classes by 43% of teachers,
while more than half of interviewed teachers use classroom-based active breaks with movements at another
subject. In summary, we would underline that movement games, music, traditional games, technology,
different tools that integrate PHE and other subject contents are some of the strategies that teachers use at
PHE classes. Such strategies implemented at PHE teaching process could benefit with greater
effectiveness, interest, and active participation of children.
