The sample group consisted of 203 P.E. teachers from primary and secondary schools using a two-stage combined approach with triangulation between quantitative and qualitative data. The first stage collected quantitative data through a questionnaire posted on Google Forms and then exported to Excel . During the during the second stage, qualitative information was obtained from semi-structured interviews with twenty-four teachers. Based on the study findings, activities were aimed at developing motor behavior patterns among primary school students. Middle school findings focused on composite physical skills. Online classes have forced students and teachers to hone their digital skills such as, handle electronic devices, digital applications and design classes with multiple formats such as videos, real-time Zoom sessions, printed materials, etc. These classes have approximately 50% of enrolled students.
