Evaluation of Coaching Performance of Directors of Physical Education

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the coaching performance of the Directors of Physical Education working in the government colleges (graduate) in North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. N-1800 graduate-level students (N-25 from each Male & Female college) were randomly taken to evaluate their Directors of Physical Education’s coaching performance. A three-step Likert-type version scale i.e. (1=Poor, 2=Undecided, and 3=Good) was used for collecting the needed data. The result of the study shows that the coaching performances of the female Directress of Physical Education were very poor. Neither they have the knowledge of the fundamental skills of the games nor have any willingness to improve their coaching abilities and knowledge. Further, the study reveals that female DPEs demonstrated a poor ability to teach, analyze, and correct the techniques. The female DPEs have not given/devoted their time and energy to coaching duties or willing to apply knowledge of skills, techniques, and strategies of sports. The overall performance of the female DPEs was also low. On the other hand, the male DPEs have shown better overall performance as compared to their female counterparts. The male DPEs possess a better knowledge of the fundamental skills of the games and also shown willingness to improve their coaching abilities and knowledge. Furthermore the male DPEs demonstrated a better ability to teach, analyze, and correct the techniques. As evaluated by the students the results further reveal that the male DPEs have given their
time and energy to coaching duties and are willing to apply
knowledge of skills, techniques, and strategies of sports.
