The social construction of pedagogic discourse in physical education teacher education in Australia |
|
Once the exclusive domain of teacher education, physical education in Australian tertiary institutions has during the last twenty years evolved into a series of discipline-based fields concerned with human movement studies, leisure studies and sport science that have begun to feed new vocational opportunities in the sport, exercise and leisure industries. Concomitant with these changes in the social organization of knowledge in tertiary physical education has been a realignment of school physical education programmes, particularly in the senior school curriculum. Inevitably, the once sole focus of physical education in tertiary institutions on teacher education is now being forced to reinvent itself in light of these dynamic changes in the social organization of school and university knowledge. Following the work of Bernstein, Goodson and others, this article analyses current policy and practice in physical education teacher education and identifies several future scenarios.

Getting in touch with our feelings: the emotional geographies of gender relations in PETE |
|
This paper attempts to illustrate how embodied ways of knowing may enhance our theoretical understanding within the field of physical education teacher education (PETE). It seeks to illustrate how teacher educators' viewpoints and understanding of gender relations are inevitably linked to socially constructed webs of emotions, as much as to intellectual rationales. Indeed, the paper argues for the need for PETE research to transcend the dualistic divide of reason/emotion.

The relationship between PE biographies and PE teaching practices of classroom teachers |
|
The current study sought to explore the relationship between personal school physical education (PE) experiences and current PE teaching practices of classroom teachers. Questionnaires were completed by 189 teachers from 38 randomly selected schools. Additionally, semi-structured interviews of 31 classroom teachers were conducted. The results indicated that many teachers had negative memories of school PE and believed that they were not taught anything. Interestingly, teachers involved in the study held reasonably positive attitudes towards teaching PE but examination of their current teaching practices indicated that little 'teaching' was evident in their PE programmes.

Bio-pedagogical self-reflection in PETE: |

Reawakening the ethical conscience and purpose in pedagogy and research
What guides, in ethical terms, our teaching and research in physical education teacher education (PETE)? This is hard to say, because, by and large, the literature in this field has not addressed this question. To shed some light on this matter, in this paper (a) I analyze some reasons for this lack of analysis; (b) I draw from well-known intellectuals to argue for the need to incorporate our self back into our writings and teachings in PETE in order to enhance our ethical consciousness as the basis of our work; (c) I propose, and explain the process of, bio-pedagogical self-reflection (BPSR) as a viable means to explore the roots of our professional beliefs and actions and reawaken our ethical conscience in connection to research and pedagogy PETE; and (d) I share a personal story-reflection based on BPSR.
