Physical Education and Sports Teachers' Perceptions to Benefit from Web 2.0 Tools in Face-to-face Education after Emergency Remote Teaching Process: A Mixed Method Research

This study aims to explore the perceptions of physical education and sports teachers regarding the use of Web 2.0 tools, which they employed during the COVID-19 emergency remote teaching process, in face-to-face education. A mixed-method approach was utilized, incorporating individual in-depth interviews and a survey administered to physical education and sports teachers working in public schools during the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The study revealed that teachers generally have a positive attitude toward integrating Web 2.0 tools into face-to-face education, leveraging competencies they developed during the emergency remote teaching process. The findings indicate that teachers' competencies in utilizing Web 2.0 tools in face-to-face education were at a moderate level. Furthermore, younger teachers, those with postgraduate education, and those who had received prior training on Web 2.0 tools exhibited higher levels of competence. Based on the results, recommendations are provided to further enhance teachers' competency levels and perceptions of Web 2.0 tools.
