Comparing professional judgment and decision-making capability in expert and novice cave leaders: An applied cognitive task analysis
This paper focuses on the novice-expert divide in cave leaders, comparing professional judgment and decision-making (PJDM) through Applied Cognitive Task Analysis (ACTA) methods. Novice leaders (n=4) were purposively sampled and undertook the three stages of the ACTA protocol. A Cognitive Demands Table was produced and the collected data were compared to our previous study of high-level instructors to compare the practice and behaviors of novices…
A new era for physical education in China: Teacher and pupil experiences and implications for the physical education profession
China's New Era educational reforms position Physical Education (PE) as central to holistic child development, emphasizing creativity, cooperation, and well-being. These reforms call for a decisive shift away from traditional exam-driven models towards student-centered practice. Yet, tensions remain between the aspirational discourse of national policy and the realities of classroom implementation. It is currently unclear how these reforms are be…
Can Cypriot physical education teachers fully embrace physical literacy? An initial exploratory sequential study
Introduction The purpose of this project was to explore whether Cypriot Physical Education (PE) teachers can fully embrace Physical Literacy (PL) and to determine the contributory factors. Methods An exploratory sequential mixed methods design collected data from 135 Cypriot PE teachers utilizing the Teacher Change Questionnaire—Physical Education (TCQ-PE) and the Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument (PPLI) questionnaires.

Between words and practice: A qualitative exploration of physical literacy understanding and application
Physical literacy (PL) has become an internationally recognised framework for promoting lifelong physical activity, yet its interpretation and application remain inconsistent across different contexts. In Serbia, where Physical Education (PE) is historically performance-driven and PL is absent from curricula and policy, little is known about how teachers understand and apply the concept. This qualitative study explored the philosophies and practi…
High-level personal trainer perspective for industry practice and development in Serbia: A qualitative descriptive study
Personal trainers (PTs) play a pivotal role in promoting positive gym experiences, implementing effective weight loss strategies, and influencing healthier lifestyle choices. In Serbia, however, the absence of national accrediting bodies for standardised qualifications has led to a lack of formal recognition of exercise professionals. The views of personal training clients regarding their training practices and experiences have been explored prev…
Integration and learning: A case study of the international higher physical education talent-cultivation model
Introduction This study delves into the multifaceted components of talent-training models within China’s physical education domain through Sino-foreign cooperative initiatives. Employing a mixed-methods approach, it systematically evaluates the innovative systems developed by pilot units and outlines their experiential insights. Methods Using a mixed-methods approach, this research extensively evaluates the situation of pilot units by collecting …
The epistemic judgement framework: A reflexive tool for physical education teachers’ professional development to support Quality Physical Education
The need for Quality Physical Education to provide the many benefits the subject offers is well established. Unfortunately, in too many areas ineffective teaching and learning practices are limiting the profession’s response to children’s developmental needs. Many teachers’ professional development interventions are criticised as not enabling the required philosophical, and pedagogical shifts that are needed to improve practice and student outcom…
The Epistemological Chain: A Tool to Guide TNE Development
Transnational Education (TNE) has been a growing area of university business with a range of models developed to provide high quality educational products to partners across the world. However, given the changing geo-political environment, the continued rationale, efficacy, and legitimacy of current TNE partnership templates must be questioned. This paper therefore presents an alternative conceptualization to drive future work in this area, one w…
