About this title

Synopsis

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the correlation between the undergraduate programs (Higher Education) offered by the Greek Departments of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, and the Physical Education (PE) curriculum followed in Greek Primary (years 6-12) and Middle (years 13-15) school. More specifically, we aimed to investigate whether the then PE teachers were adequately prepared to teach the thirteen main athletic subjects of the PE school curriculum. Useful conclusions were drawn concerning the mean values of the criteria presented, the Trigonometric transformation of the Multidimensional Scaling solutions, and other selected criteria. Although it is known that the adaptation of an existing process to suit another culture can be a strenuous and ongoing procedure, researchers are encouraged to use the instrument of this study in other national educational systems, and for other related aims regarding Higher Education -after applying appropriate amendments or adjustments.
