Abstract

Improving teaching quality and training teachers to be acquainted with novel teaching strategies have gained universal approval by Education Systems in recent years. Considering the emphasis in Iran’s education system on implementation of traditional techniques based on repetition and memorization,which result in low efficiency and poor quality of students’ learning, training instructors to be knowledgeable about novel teaching strategies aiming to enhance students’ education and learning quality is pivotal. Integrated Physical Education Training Method is one of the newfangled methods in education system,and through fostering the child’s creativity and critical thinking, it strives to instruct mathematics to students by creating an opportunity for them to experience and explore with student-centered approaches such as physical education.Developed countries have employed Integrated Physical Education Training Method in form of a Combined Teaching Method in their primary education as an effective and modern teaching strategy. Its implementation in the country’s education system requires acquainting P.E. teachers with it and addressing challenges regarding its recruitment. The present article illustrates the importance and necessity of Integrated Physical Education Training Method based on Olympism Ideology in instruction of fundamental sciences including mathematics in primary education. It also elucidates the basic requirements of instructors in exploiting this methodology.
