Introduction: While teachers' teaching skills are crucial for supports student character and sportsmanship, few studies have directly examined this link.
Objective: Building on the importance of teaching skills, this study aims to investigate the relationship between teachers' teaching skills and students' sportsmanship in PE.
Methodology: To explore this relationship, the study used a correlational method involving 105 students. Data on teachers' teaching skills were measured through three aspects: opening, organizing, and closing the lesson. Student sportsmanship data were measured using the Student Sportsmanship Scale in Physical Education (S3-PE), which includes five indicators: commitment, social conventions, rules and officials, opponents, and negative approach. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation.
Results: The analysis revealed a positive and significant correlation between teachers' teaching skills and students' sportsmanship. Specifically, the aspect "Organizing learning" had the highest correlation with students' sportsmanship (ρ = 0.545), followed by "Closing learning" (ρ = 0.521) and "Opening learning" (ρ = 0.388). The overall correlation between teaching skills and student sportsmanship was moderate (ρ = 0.569).
Discussion: These results suggest that teachers' teaching skills can be an important factor in shaping students' sportsmanship. Consequently, teachers need to implement teaching strategies that encourage sportsmanship through various physical education activities.
Conclusions: In summary, teachers' skills not only improve students' physical abilities but also shape sportsmanship attitudes and behaviors that are beneficial in everyday life.
