Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of the study was to analyze current problems and issues related directly to the educational system of physical education leaders as well as to provide effective solutions not only by increasing the utilization of physical education leaders but also to effectively raise their socio-economic status. Currently, the titles of physical education leaders are too varied. Also, the lines are blurred between the roles of the sports coach and physical educator leaders. The occupational service is indefinite and limited, and the distinctions and relationships are lacking. The existing process of certification is too complicated and requires unnecessary educational
curricula. Additionally, there is an article which lowers the prestige of the certification process because it allows certifications to be awarded without the necessary certification examinations. Also, worth noting is that there are no administrative standards established for educational curricula designed to prepare physical education leaders at the college level and for
the continuing education needed for recertification. Finally, there is no defined legal ground to establish an organization for leadership in physical education leaders as well as no systematic formation for improving quality cultivation and supporting rights which means finding ways to improve the quality of job performance and qualifications as well as ways to protect the rights of exercise leaders as professionals. This study led to the following solutions to the need for preparing exemplary physical education leaders. It is recommended that the legal term for an exercise leader is "exercise and sports professional". The determination of the scope of duties is critical to the success of effective exercise leadership. The types of certificate can be unified as "exercise and sports professional (ESP)" but if necessary, considered as general
ESP and special ESP separately. The certification should be issued by examinations which include both written and practical examinations. The advanced exercise leader program should be developed and encouraged at the college level and continuing education should be mandated for the recertification process periodically. There is a need to secure a legal basis for establishing
related organizations for exercise leaders as well as a systematic formation for improving quality cultivation and supporting rights should be supported. Additionally, the success of the certification
process is dependent upon how to optimize the utilization of the certified leaders. This necessitates the identification of and careful consideration for the roles and responsibilities of government, private and public professional organizations, and colleges/universities.
