Objective: This study aimed to identify the challenges of virtual learning in practical courses at the undergraduate level in the field of physical education and sport sciences.
Methodology: This research was conducted as an exploratory qualitative study using thematic analysis. The research population of the study included professors in the field of sports science and physical education who had experience in virtual teaching of practical courses. Considering the nature of the research, 12 of these professors were purposefully interviewed until theoretical saturation was reached. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview, and Guba and Lincoln's (1981) criteria were used to assess reliability and validity. Data analysis was performed based on Braun and Clarke's (2006) six-stage method.
Results: Thematic analysis of the data resulted in the identification of 134 codes, 9 sub-themes, and 4 main themes. The main themes of the study were: lack of development and updating, inflexibility and incompatibility, content quality, and lack of support.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that virtual education requires significant changes in the structure and educational content of sports science to be more efficient and effective. Paying attention to these changes can help improve the teaching of sports skills in the context of virtual education.
