Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate job attitudes and skills of physical education and sport sciences graduates at University of Guilan in period 2004-2008. Methodology: equal to the statistical population, the number of 271 physical education graduates answered to demographic characteristics, Attitudes towards Job (Jacko, 2004) and Amount of content appropriateness of courses with needs of the market and employment questionnaires. Validity of these tools were confirm by 11 university professors, and its reliability was calculated by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for job attitude (α=0.90) and appropriateness of course content (α =0.89). Results: Analysis of λ2 showed women (λ2= 25; P= .001) and masters’ graduates (λ2= 26.83; P= .001) more involved in the jobs associated to physical education course than others. Based on Kroskal Wallis results, graduates attitudes of jobs associated to physical education course (graduates of 2006) to dimensions of feedback, problem solving and entire attitudes were positive, while graduates attitudes of jobs no associated to physical education were positive only on task identify and authority (P≤ .05). Additionally, graduates who had jobs associated to physical education course achieved more skills of volunteer work (λ2= 14.28; P= .001) and coach card (λ2= 14.54; P= .001) than another graduates. Conclusion: It seems that occupation capacity of physical education and sport sciences graduates of University of Guilan is high and they can achieve adequate job skill during the study time and find professional positive attitudes after the occupation.

Objective: The purposive of this research was the content analyses of research methodology books in physical education and sport sciences in Iran till the end of spring of 2014. Methodology: The methodology was descriptive and content analysis. The instrument for data gathering was coding sheets and its instruction which made by researcher. Content and face validity of coding sheets approved by some experts and its objectivity approved by agreement coefficient of 4 coder (Kendall=0.89). The populations included 14 books of research methodology in physical education that all of them used in study. Results: Findings showed that by the end of spring of 2014, just 14 research methodology books in the field of physical education were published. Among these number of books only 3 books were compilation and the 11 of them were translated. The noticeable point was that these 11 books were translated from 5 source books. It means that 5 books in source language translated to the second language by 11 groups of translators. There was a meaningful difference among these books in using pictures, charts, bars and the number and the kind of resources. Conclusion: Among these books the book which was translated by kuzechian et al has had highest points between others

AbstractObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the canonical correlation of the relationship between the social support and absence of motivation of 2nd and 3rd grade high school students in physical education activities.Methodology: The method of study was descriptive–correlation, and field survey. 381 students among 2nd and 3rd high school students of Bookan city were chosen through multi-level cluster random sampling. They filled in interpersonal behavior scale of Pelletier et.al (2008) with the reliability (α=.81), and questionnaire of absence of motivation in physical education of Shen et.al (2010) with reliability (α=.78). Data was analyzed with Canonical Correlation method.Results: The results showed that there was a negative significant relationship between autonomy support with insufficient values of activities (r=-0.130, p≤0.05), and unappealing activities (r=-0.166, p≤0.05). Competence support had a negative significant relationship with deficient ability (r=-0.135, p≤0.05), deficient effort (r=-0.133, p≤0.05), insufficient values of activities (r=-0.197, p≤0.01), and unappealing activities (r=-0.202, p≤0.01). Relatedness support had a negative significant relationship with deficient ability (r=-0.110, p≤0.05), deficient effort (r=-0.108, p≤0.05), insufficient values of activities (r=-0.157, p≤0.01), and unappealing activities (r=-0.178, p≤0.01). Also, canonical correlation showed a significant set between social support and students’ lack of motivation, that is, set of social support predicted set of students’ lack of motivation (0.19).Conclusion: Physical education teachers, who provide supportive environment for students, can influence students’ motivation, and increase their participation at physical education activities.Keywords: Canonical correlation, Motivation, Physical education, Social support.

AbstractObjective: The main purpose of this research is to assess the necessity and feasibility of the use of integrated approach in elementary school physical education curriculum.Methodology: The statistical population of this research contained teachers and experts of education with curriculum development specialty (18 persons) and teachers and experts of physical education with management specialty (21 persons) in state universities of Tehran, all of whom were selected objectively. All needed information was gathered through a researcher made questionnaire consisting of 25 questions. All gathered data were analyzed with both linear-algorithm & T-solo sample statistical methods.Results: the results gained through linear-algorithm method showed that experts agreed upon adopting an integrated physical education curriculum considering gender and their agreement. Also there was a difference between experts’ viewpoint in rendering an integrated physical education curriculum and confliction of state of agreement, gender and teaching background. Results gained through T-solo sample showed that all five indicators of physical education curriculum (goals, choosing content, organizing the content, teaching method and learning experiences) were possible to prepared and codify physical education curriculum in an integrated style.Conclusion: Based on experts’ points of view, given considering gender and degree of agreement, physical education curriculum can be prepared for the integration. Also, given the teaching experience and interaction of three factors in the curriculum, there were different views offered by experts. Experts views showed that it would be possible to prepare and codify integrated physical education curriculum.Keywords: Integrated curriculum, Integrated physical education curriculum, Physical education.
