Abstract

Active homework in physical education plays an effective role in increasing students' physical activity. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to identify the components of active homework and design a model for creating active homework in physical education in schools. The qualitative research method and Grounded theory using Glaser's approach were used. The statistical population of the research included physical education teachers, physical education assistants of the Department of Education and Training, physical education experts of the Department of Education and Training, faculty members of physical education at Farhangian University, and school principals. Semi-structured and in-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with 12 elites who are knowledgeable about the research topic, and they were selected purposefully. Interviews were continued until the theoretical saturation. Transferability and verifiability and credibility were used to check the validity, and also the intra-subject agreement method of two coders was used to check the reliability. The results of open coding indicated that 110 factors can exist in the identification of active homework components in physical education in schools. In the selective coding stage, factors were classified into 17 subcategories. Finally, 7 main categories resulting from theoretical coding were identified. The categories include physical education program improvement, learning tool, information and resources, responsibility, positive attitude, family and community participation, and evaluation tool. The country's physical education teachers can use the identified factors, concepts, and categories in their future planning to implement active homework in physical education in schools.
