title: Effective teaching in physical education: Slovenian perspective.
abstract: Regular quality physical education (PE) contributes to the harmonized biopsychosocial development of a young person--to relaxation, neutralization of negative effects of sedentary hours, and other unhealthy habits/behaviors. The evaluation approach to PE effectiveness provides important information to PE teachers and also to students. However, evaluating effectiveness of teaching, especially the effectiveness of teaching PE, is a difficult task, because PE is a constant process of enriching knowledge and developing skills, as well as having a possible impact on students' health and mental well-being. Many attempts to evaluate PE teachers' effectiveness exist in Slovenia, but currently, none are being implemented in the national PE curricula. As part of recent discussion on PE teaching effectiveness (McKenzie & Lounsbery, 2013; Rink, 2013; Ward, 2013), we share our views from a Slovenian perspective.
