Abstract
The ministry of education in Kenya recognizes Physical Education (PE) as an integral
part of the secondary education process as attested in the Preamble of PE syllabus for
secondary schools (K.I.E 2002). The purpose of this study is to investigate the provision
of teaching resources for PE in public secondary schools in Kisii County-Kenya. This is
due to the fact that PE is largely a practical subject and for effective teaching, learning
resources have to be availed. The study aims to find out if there are enough facilities,
equipment, supplies, text books, qualified PE personnel and allocation of recommended
curriculum time in school time tables to implement the 'secondary PE curriculum in
public secondary schools in Kisii County. The study will adopt the descriptive survey
design. Head teachers and PE teachers in 306 public secondary schools in the county
will be the target population. Stratified and simple random samplings procedures will be
used to attain a sample of 41 head teachers and 41 Physical Education teachers which
represents 30% of the population for National and County schools and 10% for district
schools who will be respondents in the study. A questionnaire and an observation check
list will be used to collect the data from the respondents. After collecting the data it will
be coded and organized for analysis using SPSS version 17.0 Descriptive statistics will
be computed using charts, graphs, frequency distribution tables and percentages. The
hypotheses of the study will be tested using chi-square test of significance. The study
findings will be used by all stake holders involved in the development of PE (School
inspectors, curriculum developers, head teachers, teachers, parents, and the academia) to
ensure full implementation of the PE curriculum in Public Secondary Schools in Kenya.
This will enhance correct acquisition of skills in various sports for both leisure and
competitive purposes.
