Zohre Reshadaoghani

The purpose of the present research is to examine the condition of physical education in the girls’ primary schools of Iran. The research is descriptive and the population consists of all the teachers of girls’ primary schools of which 40 schools were selected using cluster sampling and the sample consists of 100 teachers in these schools. A researcher-made questionnaire has been used to collect the raw data. The validity of the questionnaire was approved by the relevant experts and its reliability was calculated to be 0.76 using Cronbach’s alpha. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis and all the operations were done in in SPSS 19.The results showed that children have less physical activity than the past and not all of them have the ability to use the programs of sport clubs and centers. It is thus suggested that physical education teachers with high academic degrees be used in order to make the physical education course more dynamic and maintain the health of students at the first to third grade.
