Abstract

This study aims to determine the perceptions of trainee teachers of physical education and sports of an online course for small groups (SPOC). We administered a questionnaire to 70 participants for distance training according to the SPOC model divided into two groups: hybrid and distanced, and we used for data analysis the Khi 2 test (p <0.05) in comparing the variables’ percentages and dependence. The results revealed that all of teacher-trainees declare that SPOC reduces students’ travel time and allows follow-up and individualized teaching. Moreover, analysis of Khi 2 test data shows no significant difference between the two training groups and interest perception of SPOCs. These results will guide us to know different participants’ attitudes towards an online distance training under the SPOC model on one hand, and on the other hand to anticipate an adequate mode of accompaniment.
