Abstract
The purpose of this study was designing of a pedagogical model to implementation the goals of the physical education curriculum of schools during the Covid-19 pandemic. The present study was conducted using a qualitative method with an exploratory nature and in 3steps. In the first step, synthesis research method was used to extract the effective factors. The second step included distance interviews with 31 physical education (PE) teachers and PE group leaders, experts, and specialists of curriculum to enumerate more specialized and local factors. Finally, in the third step, a focus group consisting of experts was used to validating and designing the model. Cohen's kappa coefficient was 79%, which indicates the reliability of the research coding process. A total of 50 concepts and 10 main categories were extracted. Findings showed that goals, learner characteristics, Educational platforms and learning environment play a role as fixed and influential factors. In contrast, the elements of teacher, content, teaching methods, Educational materials, family and Assessment as available and flexible factors play a decisive role in students' learning. Finally, it is suggested that physical education teachers consider role of each of these elements, especially the characteristics of learner (individual, social, cultural, etc.), family, educational contexts (quality, facilities, etc), educational materials (suitability for learning environment, family level, etc) and learning environment in the educational plan process. It is also suggested that the Ministry of Education hold additional training courses focusing on content production, teaching and assessment methods in Virtual space.
