Resumo. ABSTRACT This paper reports on a study that investigated the experiences of 25 physical education (PE) teachers from public and private schools in Angeles City, Philippines, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that many PE teachers encountered various challenges and were hesitant and unconfident about teaching PE during the pandemic. Additionally, many PE teachers were given non-teaching assignments and responsibilities, which added to their workload. The study highlights the importance of equipping teachers with the necessary skills and knowledge to adapt to the new teaching and learning modalities during the pandemic and providing support for PE teachers during this challenging time. The paper concludes by suggesting that future research could investigate the specific strategies and approaches that have been most effective in helping PE teachers overcome the challenges they face in teaching during the pandemic and the long-term effects of the pandemic on the teaching and learning of physical education.
