Predictors of Physical Education Teachers’ Instructional Leadership and Efficacy

Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore the predictive factors influencing the teaching leadership and efficacy of physical education teachers. Through an in-depth analysis of various aspects including educational leadership, teaching efficacy, and educational experience, we aim to provide guidance for enhancing the teaching quality and educational outcomes of physical education teachers. Employing a quantitative research approach, we conducted a questionnaire survey and statistical analysis to study the key factors affecting the teaching leadership and efficacy of physical education teachers. The study found a significant positive correlation between educational leadership and teaching efficacy, and a close association between physical education experience and teaching efficacy. Educational leadership and teaching experience are important predictive factors influencing the educational efficacy of physical education teachers. Additionally, educational leadership has a significant impact on teaching efficacy under the moderation of educational experience, indicating that educational experience can enhance the positive effect of educational leadership on teaching efficacy. These findings underscore the significance of educational leadership and teaching experience in the educational efficacy of physical education teachers, providing valuable insights for the formulation and practice of physical education policies. Future research could further explore other factors affecting educational leadership and efficacy, and consider broader samples and research designs.
