Enhancing the Professional Competence of Physical Education Teachers Through Scientific Article Writing Training

Abstract

Low motivation, administrative workloads, and a lack of understanding of scientific writing and publication are major obstacles for physical education teachers in meeting promotion requirements. Furthermore, the heavy administrative workload consumes their time, severely limiting opportunities for self-development. Training on writing scientific articles within this community service activity provided teachers with a better understanding of how to write articles on physical education. The community service team provided materials with competent speakers, ensuring participants have a rewarding and enjoyable training and mentoring experience. This community service activity provides hands-on training and facilitates mentoring for participants in writing and publishing articles. The steps implemented in this community service activity included preparation, implementation, and evaluation. This community service activity featured high-quality materials and was supported by the excellent, professional performance of the speakers, as evidenced by their ability to communicate nonverbally. Overall, this community service activity was a success and received overwhelming appreciation from the participants. Evaluation of participants' opinions on the material presented, with an average score of 4.75, and the speaker's performance was 4.73 out of a maximum score of 5. This community service activity was well implemented and had a positive impact on participants, improving their writing competency.
