Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of teachers towards Physical Education and Sport (PES) in selected primary schools. Physical Education and Sport is an integral subject of Creative and Technology Studies at lower primary (grades 1-4) and Expressive Arts at upper primary (grade 5-7). However, it is examined nationally at grade seven under Creative and Technology Studies. The study employed a survey design that adopted both qualitative and quantitative paradigms. Data was gathered by the use of interviews and questionnaires. The interviews were used on head teachers while the questionnaires were used to gather data from teachers. This research comprised of two categories of respondents. The first category was head teachers with five (5) respondents and purposive sampling technique was used to sample them. The second category was the teachers and had ninety-four (94) respondents and systematic random sampling was used as a sampling technique. Thus the study collected data from ninety-nine respondents. The findings of this study indicated that regardless of the efforts by the government, the perceptions of teachers played an important role in the teaching and learning processes especially where PES is concerned. The perceptions of teachers however exhibited more negatives than positives towards PES and this affected the teaching and learning mainly in a negative manner.
