Abstract:
In response to the evolving landscape of education, this study investigates the profile, professional development, work productivity, and work environment of Physical Education Teachers at Hubei Enshi University. The significance lies in understanding the dynamics shaping teaching practices and the holistic experiences of educators, particularly in the context of physical education. The study aims to bridge existing research gaps by providing nuanced insights into the relationships between teacher profiles, development, productivity, and the work environment. Employing a descriptive quantitative method, data was collected from 385 participants using a survey questionnaire. The participants, diverse in age, gender, educational attainment, and teaching experience, contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the teaching faculty. The findings reveal positive engagement in professional development and work productivity, yet point to areas in the work environment that warrant attention, such as meeting practices and task structuring. This study contributes new knowledge by highlighting the intricate connections between professional development, work productivity, and the work environment within the unique context of physical education. The research underscores the importance of tailored professional development plans, the optimization of virtual collaboration tools, and the enhancement of meeting efficiency. The recommendation is to establish a recognition program, fostering a culture of mutual support and celebrating the achievements of Physical Education Teachers. This study serves as a valuable resource for educational institutions aiming to create conducive environments that enhance both teacher and student experiences.
