Background: Physical education teachers are key elements in education and training in the field of physical activity and health promotion. Given the changing society, professional development based on contemporary innovations has become an inevitable part of their professional lives.
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore professional development strategies with an emphasis on the innovative work behavior of physical education teachers in South Khorasan province.
Method: The present study was qualitative and exploratory. The researcher conducted interviews with physical education teachers to examine professional development strategies with an emphasis on innovative work behavior. The study population consisted of all physical education teachers in South Khorasan province during the academic year 2024- 2025. The samples were purposefully selected based on work experience, educational qualifications, and familiarity with innovation topics. Data collection continued through semi-structured interviews until data saturation was reached. Saturation was achieved after interviewing 14 physical education teachers in South Khorasan, but to ensure the credibility of the data, interviews continued with 19 teachers. The information obtained from the interviews was analyzed using Glaser’s grounded theory method and the 2020 MAXQDA software.
Results: The analysis of the conducted interviews using open, axial, and selective coding led to the identification of 311 statements. The codes derived from the interviews were categorized into 34 axial codes and 5 selective codes: organizational support strategies (9 strategies), evaluation and self-awareness (4 strategies), training programs (11 strategies), educational facilities and technologies (4 strategies), and societal culture (6 strategies). These were identified as professional development strategies for physical education teachers with an emphasis on innovative work behavior.
Conclusions: Based on the findings of this study, policymakers and education planners can utilize the proposed strategies to achieve the predetermined objectives related to physical education teachers, aligning them with contemporary needs. Additionally, they can mitigate the negative impacts of the lack of professional development strategies focused on innovative work behavior for physical education teachers.
