- Abstract
The aim of the present study is to examine the physical education teaching in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The study was conducted from February to May 2019. Firstly, the web sites about the National Curriculum for Physical Education in the U.S., Oklahoma State Physical Education Standards and the National Federation of State High School Associations were accessed. The second is an observation of teaching methods of the physical educators (PE), and sports facilities and tools. The third is the interviews made with volunteer PE teachers at all levels and coaches at secondary level schools. In the U.S. there is a comprehensive and well-rounded system related to physical education and sports starting from elementary school to high school. In elementary school, physical education classes are aimed at developing basic movement skills and increasing physical activity. While, in high school, physical education classes are aimed at developing different sport skills and increasing physical activity. Diversity in sport participation and delayed specialization is recommended, while specialization in a single sport at an early age isn't recommended.
