Abstract
One goal of the project "Schulsport2020", funded by the German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research, is to support Physical Education teachers and teacher
trainees in dealing with the heterogeneity of students and promoting inclusion in
physical education. The support needs of physical education teachers for this task were
systematically surveyed in an interview study with physical education teachers from
various types of schools in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia and
supplemented by data from a questionnaire survey. The results show a concern with
resource requirements, especially for increased staffing, but also time, finances and
materials. Furthermore, a strong emphasis was identified on the need for knowledge of
special education in general as well as of student needs in the emotional-social and
physical domains. Physical Education teachers also mentioned a need for knowledge
in the topics of differentiated learning, grading and the backgrounds of refugee
students.
