The KPI Technology as a Tool for Improving Physical Education Teachers' Effectiveness

The article deals with issues related to the study of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of physical education teachers. The authors used methods of literature analysis, questionnaires and SWOT analysis to justify the use of the KPI business technology in teachers' professional activities. The presence in modern universities of functions similar to activities of commercial organizations and business structures, in particular the functions of attracting and managing finances, justifies the need to use technologies that have already proven their effectiveness in the economic environment. The basis for applying the KPI technology is data that reveal the potential of this technology. The article also presents the results of the analysis of professional functions performed by physical education teachers. The functions are divided into traditional, specific for physical education teachers, and functions that have appeared relatively recently, under the influence of mass digitalization and introduction of new technologies. Using formulas, an example of calculating key performance indicators, as well as teachers' overall performance, is given. Based on the results of the analysis of the relationship between the KPI technology and the quality indicators of physical education teachers' professional activity, the authors developed the Performance Management as a Result of Using the KPI Technology training program. The training is aimed at creating a new approach to professional activity, as well as at improving personal and corporate effectiveness using the KPI technology. The participants of the training took part in a survey after a certain period of time. The analysis of the survey results showed teachers' interest in the KPI technology and readiness to use it in their activities. The respondents noted that the technology is transparent; it allows them to have a clear idea of the results they will receive a fair remuneration for, to predict the results of their professional activities. The advantages of the KPI technology are obvious, since performance evaluation has a transparent effect, which makes it clear to employees and builds trust in the organization's management. The technology also contributes to the formation of employees' responsibility for the results of their activities. The authors attributed the complexity and duration of the implementation process to the disadvantages of the KPI technology. The authors also concluded that preliminary work with teachers on the type of training can contribute to the most effective result for all participants in this process.
