This study examined secondary (high) school teachers’ experiences of online delivery of health and physical education (HPE) during Covid-19 suppression measures in one Australian state in 2020. Research has noted the use of blended learning and flipped classrooms in HPE, yet little is known about the delivery of fully online school HPE. Semi-structured interviews occurred with eight high school HPE specialist teachers, providing qualitative data for analysis. The analysis of teachers’ experiences indicated that in most cases HPE did not happen; rather, physical activity provision was initiated, or HPE was marginalised to a movement break between subjects with perceived higher status and priority. Additionally, teachers found that providing HPE online was challenging, and struggled to connect with, engage and provide equitable opportunities for their students online. The results showed that the move to online provision of HPE resulted in diminished educative purpose.

课程退居二线：在 Covid-19 期间教授高中健康和体育

本研究调查了 2020 年澳大利亚一个州在 Covid-19 抑制措施期间中学（高中）教师在线提供健康和体育教育 (HPE) 的经验。研究注意到在 HPE 中使用混合学习和翻转课堂，然而对完全在线学校 HPE 的交付知之甚少。对八位高中 HPE 专家教师进行了半结构化访谈，为分析提供了定性数据。对教师经验的分析表明，在大多数情况下，HPE 并没有发生；相反，开始提供身体活动，或者 HPE 被边缘化为具有更高地位和优先级的受试者之间的运动中断。此外，教师们发现在线提供 HPE 具有挑战性，并且难以与、在线参与并为学生提供公平的机会。结果表明，向在线提供 HPE 的转变导致教育目的减弱。
