Abstract

Objectives: To investigate the challenge of teaching Autistic children in Taekwondo and Taekwondo coach experience may differ, The different behaviors of these students will make teaching progress difficult. There are many types of student behavior but all are mildly autistic.

Methods: The researchers used semi-structured interviews as the primary source of data collection. The interviews were audio-taped and then transcribed verbatim as soon as each had been collected. The researchers are responsible for data collection, transcription, translation and analysis to ensure the quality, consistency and accuracy of data processing and interpretation. The interview lasts for approximately 30 minutes.

Implications: In this study, we aimed to examine the challenges that coaches face when teaching students with special needs (children with ASD). Analyze the data after accessing it. We want to understand what methods coaches use to solve problems and what support they need when teaching. The purpose of our research is to identify the challenges faced when tutoring students with special needs, and how to address these challenges and provide support in the future, in order to create better teaching quality and a supportive learning environment (to enhance students' learning experience).

Our ultimate goal is to provide actionable recommendations that help coaches better understand and meet the needs of exceptional students. By improving the quality of instruction, coaches can create more effective and engaging learning experiences that meet each student's unique abilities and challenges. In turn, this will improve student outcomes and promote a more inclusive learning environment.
