This study examined secondary (high) school teachers’ experiences of online delivery of health and physical education (HPE) during Covid-19 suppression measures in one Australian state in 2020. Research has noted the use of blended learning and flipped classrooms in HPE, yet little is known about the delivery of fully online school HPE. Semi-structured interviews occurred with eight high school HPE specialist teachers, providing qualitative data for analysis. The analysis of teachers’ experiences indicated that in most cases HPE did not happen; rather, physical activity provision was initiated, or HPE was marginalised to a movement break between subjects with perceived higher status and priority. Additionally, teachers found that providing HPE online was challenging, and struggled to connect with, engage and provide equitable opportunities for their students online. The results showed that the move to online provision of HPE resulted in diminished educative purpose.

课程退居二线：Covid-19期间高中健康和体育教学


这项研究调查了 2020 年澳大利亚一个州在采取 Covid-19 抑制措施期间中学（高中）教师在线提供健康和体育教育 (HPE) 的经验。研究注意到 HPE 中使用了混合学习和翻转课堂，但关于完全在线学校 HPE 的交付情况知之甚少。对八名高中 HPE 专业教师进行了半结构化访谈，提供了用于分析的定性数据。对教师经验的分析表明，大多数情况下HPE并没有发生；相反，开始提供体育活动，或者 HPE 被边缘化为具有较高地位和优先级的受试者之间的运动休息。此外，教师发现在线提供 HPE 具有挑战性，并且很难与学生建立在线联系、参与并为其提供公平的机会。结果表明，转向在线提供 HPE 导致教育目的减弱。
