Objective: The objective of this study was to identify and explain the key components for enhancing the quality of physical education in Iranian schools, with an emphasis on contemporary educational conditions and environmental transformations.
Methods: This study adopted a qualitative approach using thematic analysis. In the first phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 experts in the field of education and physical education, including university faculty members, education administrators, physical education teachers, and educational policy specialists. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, leading to the extraction of organizing and basic themes. In the second phase, the identified themes were validated and prioritized using the Fuzzy Delphi technique. Two Delphi rounds were conducted, crisp values were calculated for each theme, and differences between the mean values of the two rounds were analyzed.
Results: The qualitative analysis resulted in the identification of 14 organizing themes and numerous basic themes. Findings from the Fuzzy Delphi process indicated that themes such as development of physical education strategic programs, linkage between industry and schools in physical education, and physical education skill enhancement showed a relative decrease in priority in the second round. In contrast, themes including implementation of modern educational provisions, entrepreneurial physical education, and alignment of physical education with up-to-date standards demonstrated an increasing trend in prioritization.
Conclusions: The findings suggest that physical education in schools requires a fundamental transformation in educational content, teaching methods, and alignment with labor market needs and technological advancements. Based on the results, recommendations are proposed for revising educational policies, empowering physical education teachers, and designing future-oriented educational programs to improve the overall quality of physical education in schools.
