Global Education: The Challenges of Physical Education Teaching and Learning in Nigeria

Abstract

This abstract focuses on the challenges of physical education teaching/learning in Nigeria schools. Factors such as teachers, pedagogical knowledge at all level of physical education teaching, methodology of the subject, as well as student maturation level were some of the challenges discussed. In order to overcome the challenges, it was recommended, among others that only pedagogically qualified physical education teachers should be assigned to teach the subject at any level of our educational setting.
