Adapted physical education constitutes a specialized curriculum designed for students with physical or mental disabilities or illnesses. This study examined the current state and progress of adapted physical education in higher secondary schools in Taiwan, with a focus on promoting educational equity. In addition, this paper proposes policy recommendations for optimizing the allocation of physical education resources. A comprehensive questionnaire survey titled“Developmental Needs Related to Adapted Physical Education in Higher Secondary Schools in Taiwan”was developed, and 3,270 experienced physical education teachers completed this survey. Descriptive statistics were used as the primary analytical method. Additionally, a classification model with classification and regression trees was established to identify key factors influencing the effectiveness of adapted physical education. The present findings indicate that the current implementation of adapted physical education does not effectively involve students with physical or mental disabilities in sports clubs. A growing demand for teacher training and education programs was also identified, with a shortage of teachers and a lack of barrier-free environments being two major challenges hindering the development of adapted physical education. In conclusion, proactive measures should be taken to improve the quality of adapted physical education in Taiwan, including developing teaching materials and providing training for professionals in the field of physical education. |
