What Kind of a Physical Education Teacher: A Pedagogue or a Coach?

Abstract

This compilation is made to discuss physical education concepts, applications and teachers and their places in education systems in the world and Turkey. In the developing and changing world, movement education, sports and physical activity have become a part of human life. The effort to act in a more qualified way has always found its place in both daily life and education. Movement, physical education, and gymnastics activities within the education system that started in 17th century Europe and spread to the world will continue to search for direction. Today, when digitalization is constantly revising human life, it emerges as a result of revising the quality problem of physical education teachers. It may be suggested to train physical education and sports teachers who have gained competence by integrating mechanical muscular skills with metacognitive skills.
