Abstract

To a large extent, the physical education courses improve the physical, Moral and mental health of students and facilitate the growth of their academic
achievement. Unfortunately, at the moment, physical education is confronted with many problems in schools which prevent it from attaining its accomplishments. The
low level of skills of teachers in this field is one of the major problems which, to a large extent, is due to the insufficiency of their training. As a result, the present
paper examines the curriculums of the associate degree program of physical eduction. The population is all of the teachers with associate degree (n=150), and
all of the related authorities in middle schools of Isfahan (n=15). To collect the data from teachers, the researchers' made a questionnaire with 43 closed - end
questions and three open questions. An interview with six questions was also used to collect data from the authorities. It was found that to the teachers and the
authorities, the number of exercise courses e.g. football, is not sufficient in number. However, their viewpoints were different about the related courses to physical
education, e.g., first aid in health problems, and the related courses to the art of teaching.
