How trainee physical education teachers in England write, use and evaluate lesson plans
Traditionally, all physical education initial teacher training (PEITT) courses in England, and in many other countries, require trainee teachers to complete detailed lesson plans for each lesson they teach in their school-based practicum and then to evaluate those lessons. However, there has been a limited amount of research on lesson planning in PEITT generally or in England specifically. The purpose of this study therefore was to gain an initia…
Value orientations of student physical education teachers learning to teach on school-based initial teacher education courses in England
There has been considerable interest in the socialisation of (student) physical education (PE) teachers, the beliefs and values developed as a result of this socialisation and the impact of these on teachers’ learning, behaviours and practices and the curriculum. Many studies looking at the beliefs and values of PE teachers have used the values orientation instrument (VOI). However, as far as we know, in England there has only been one study usin…
Primary physical education, coaches and continuing professional development
Physical education (PE) in primary schools has traditionally been taught by qualified primary teachers. More recently, some teaching of PE in primary schools has been undertaken by coaches (mostly football coaches) (Sports coach UK, 2004, 2007a). These coaches hold national governing body awards, but do not hold teaching qualifications. Thus, coaches may not be adequately prepared to teach PE in curriculum time. The purpose of this study was to e…
The interaction of factors which influence secondary student physical education teachers’ knowledge and development as teachers
The purpose of this study was to look at the influence of and interrelationships between concerns and socialization on the development of student physical education (PE) teachers’ knowledge for teaching and their development as teachers. Six secondary student PE teachers completed a journal on a monthly basis throughout the course of a one-year initial teacher education course. These student teachers and their mentors were interviewed in school t…
Does knowing stuff like PSHE and citizenship make me a better teacher
One of the key elements of figurational sociology is the emphasis on understanding complex networks of interdependencies in which people are involved. The focal point of this paper is the process of initial teacher training (ITT) and the relationships of which student teachers are part during their ITT course. The paper does not look at what student teachers ought to think; rather, it is an exploration of why student teachers may think the way th…

A Study of Current Practice in Liaison Between Primary and Secondary Schools in Physical Education
The purpose of this study was to investigate current practice in liaison between primary and secondary schools to promote continuity and progression in physical education during the transfer of pupils from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 and to identify constraints to engaging in liaison activities. A questionnaire was completed by the head of the physical education department in secondary schools in five local education authorities in England that re…
Secondary PGCE PE Studentsí Perceptions of Their Subject Knowledge
PE teachers in England are required to teach a wide range of physical activities in order tofulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for Physical Education (NCPE). The content or subject knowledge necessary to teach all areas of activity in the NCPE is acknowledged as important, both in its own right and as giving students confidence and accuracy for subject application. Subject knowledge is identified as one of the standards for the aw…
Experiences of Physical Education Students in Learning to Teach
School experience has been identified as one of the most important parts of initial teacher education courses. Research has also shown that students are concerned about school experience. Some authors have identified stages of development or concern through which students pass in their development as teachers. Other authors have suggested that students' development does not pass through sequential stages. The major purpose of this study was to lo…

Recent changes in the political environment in England and Wales have had an obvious and major impact on physical education. This paper cons…

A Longitudinal Study of Burnout in Teachers
The purpose of this study was to look at burnout over one school year. Six hundred and forty teachers in 80 middle, upper, high schools and sixth form college in one Local Education Authority were sent a questionnaire in September, 1987, February, 1988 and June, 1988. Each questionnaire contained the Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess burnout at three stages of the year, as well as other scales unique to that questionnaire. Results showed no sig…
The Incidence of and Influences on Stress and Burnout in Secondary School Teachers
This study investigated the relationship with stress and burnout of eight selected psychological, organisational and demographic variables in secondary school teachers. Teachers (N = 78) from four secondary schools completed self report measures of stress, burnout, role conflict, role ambiguity, locus of control, and organisational and demographic variables. Regression and follow-up canonical correlation analyses indicated that six of the eight s…
