Junior High School Teachers’ Challenges in Evaluating Students’ Performance in Online Physical Education Classes

The paper aims to understand the challenges junior high school teachers face in evaluating students’ performance in physical education in online classes. The researcher collected the data via open-ended questionnaires through Google Forms. Six junior high school physical education teachers participated in the study. The data were analyzed for patterns that might offer insight into junior high school teachers’ challenges in assessing students’ physical education performance in online classes. The findings of this study focus primarily on the difficulties encountered by teachers in schools, such as financial reasons that result in the unavailability of equipment like smartphones, laptops, or even tablets to conduct a class. Additionally, limited strategies and approaches are utilized in an online class setup that restricts the capabilities of the teachers in applying a better learning process in which the students could maximize learning.
