This study aimed to compare the effect between game-based approaches (GBAs) and traditional skill approaches on decision-making, knowledge and motor skill in physical education students and athletes. A systematic review and meta-analysis of experimental studies available before October 2023 was conducted. The initial search yielded 8431 articles, with 28 articles ( n = 1600) meeting the inclusion criteria. Studies were analyzed using three-level random-effects models with a robust variance estimation. Outcomes were computed as raw mean differences and Hedges’s g effect sizes. Results indicate that GBAs have a positive heterogeneous effect on decision-making in game situations (ES = 11.41%; 95% CI [4.39, 18.43]) and motor skill in skill tests ( g = 0.36; 95% CI [0.14, 0.57]). GBAs did not have an effect on knowledge ( g = 0 .37; 95% CI [−0.12, 0.86]) or motor skill in game situations (ES = 1.13%; 95% CI [−2.43, 4.68]). Meta-regression analyses revealed that the experience of the interventionist, the quality of the studies, and the comparison condition significantly influence the impact of GBAs on motor skill tests. More detailed and transparent reporting of trials would benefit the field.
本研究旨在比较基于游戏的方法(GBAs)和传统技能方法对体育教育专业学生和运动员的决策、知识和运动技能的影响。研究人员对 2023 年 10 月之前的实验研究进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。初步检索共获得 8431 篇文章,其中 28 篇文章(n = 1600)符合纳入标准。研究采用三级随机效应模型和稳健方差估计进行分析。结果以原始均值差异和赫奇斯 g效应大小计算。结果表明,GBA 对游戏情境中的决策(ES = 11.41%;95% CI [4.39,18.43])和技能测试中的运动技能(g = 0.36;95% CI [0.14,0.57])具有积极的异质性影响。GBAs 对知识(g = 0.37;95% CI [-0.12,0.86])和游戏情况下的运动技能(ES = 1.13%;95% CI [-2.43,4.68])没有影响。元回归分析表明,干预者的经验、研究的质量以及对比条件都会显著影响GBA对运动技能测试的影响。更详细、更透明的试验报告将使该领域受益匪浅。

Physical education teacher communities have been studied and implemented as a successful approach to teacher professional development. Despite a wealth of literature, less is known about three aspects: sustained nature of a community over time, power relations among community members, and a comprehensive case study. This study aimed to address these gaps in the literature by investigating the journey of a physical education community of practice (CoP) in South Korea. In this intrinsic case study, seven core members were interviewed using a timeline drawing method to elicit the stories behind the community's history. In addition, field notes from observations and documents from the official community website were used to corroborate the interview data. Inductive and collaborative data analysis organised the community's history into four phases: Beginning, Rise, Fall, and Comeback. Detailed explanations of each phase represent what happened and how the community evolved over time. Discussions suggested, first, that changing power relations facilitate different types of learning in CoPs. Initially, a strong leader drove learning as experiencing and doing, but as power shifted to members, the community changed to learning as belonging and becoming. Second, conflict can be a natural process to revisit the shared vision. Since the shared vision is not static but rather reflects contextual values, community members should revisit and discuss it as conflicts arise. Third, community engagement can be understood as an opportunity to gain recognition. This research underscores the significance of understanding long-term teacher motivation and the collective factors that drive it through community engagement.

This study examined how preservice teachers (PSTs) develop adaptive competence in teaching peers in an introductory physical education pedagogy course underpinned by a pedagogical cycle designed to promote adaptive teaching competence. Two guiding research questions were: (a) what was the total number of adaptations that PSTs made in their peer teaching? and (b) what were the total numbers of missed content (MC) that PSTs had in their peer teaching? We used a descriptive-analytic study to evaluate teaching data from 22 PSTs. The course included different pedagogical strategies (e.g. discussing teaching scenarios, repeated teaching, and reflecting on teaching) to develop adaptive competence. A total of 85 teaching videos were analyzed using three coding variables (adaptations added, adaptation corrections, and MC) by comparing them with the PSTs’ lesson plans. The descriptive analyses showed that all PSTs were able to make substantive and consistent teaching adaptations across the five-week period. The amount of MC decreased across the five weeks. This study demonstrated that the pedagogical cycle designed to promote adaptive teaching competence was effective in helping PSTs make adaptations to their teaching. Simply providing PSTs opportunities to teach or teach repetitively is not sufficient to develop adaptive competence. Intentional integration of the pedagogical strategies is essential to equipping PSTs with effective teaching skills and knowledge, and helping them connect theory and practice with ongoing feedback and reflection.

The importance of physical educators obtaining a discipline-specific appearance as role models is documented in the literature. Previous research has examined the influence of physical education teachers’ body fatness, (dis)ability, and age on pupils’ learning and perceptions of the teachers. To expand the research line, this study focused on teachers’ formal/informal appearance and their sex. Four 20-minute videos consisting of female informal appearance (FIA), female formal appearance (FFA), male informal appearance (MIA), and male formal appearance (MFA) were created to collect data from 533 high school pupils. A content examination and a perception questionnaire were used to measure cognitive performance and perceptions of the teachers. Factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to identify any significant main effects or interaction effects on the tchoukball examination, two content areas (i.e. techniques and strategies), and perceptions of three teacher characteristics (i.e. likability, competence, and appropriateness as a role model). Findings revealed significant main effects for teacher appearance on the overall examination and both content areas. Participants who watched the informal appearance videos scored significantly higher than those who watched the formal appearance videos. Furthermore, there was an interaction effect on the strategy portion of the examination. Participants who watched the MIA video scored the highest, followed by those who watched the FIA, FFA, and MFA videos. Factorial ANOVA found no significant main effect or interaction effect on the three teacher characteristics. One key conclusion indicates that the formal/informal appearance is far more open to interpretation than the (dis)ability and age aspects.

Teacher educators shape curriculum in the pedagogical decisions they make ( Lunenberg et al., 2007 ). Yet, evidence is lacking about how physical education (PE) teacher educators make decisions about what to include in their teacher education pedagogies. Four teacher educators in four different PE teacher education (PETE) programmes collaborated to examine their decision-making as they explored ideas related to Meaningful PE and social justice pedagogies. Insight into how teacher educators make decisions can add nuance to understanding pedagogical decision-making in PETE. A self-study of teacher education practices frame supported collective and individual interrogation of our decision-making processes. Data included planning documentation for each teaching episode ( n = 42), individual reflections ( n = 33), recordings of conversations with critical friends ( n = 15), and recordings of collective meetings ( n = 8). Pedagogical confrontations ( Moran et al., 2019 ) provided a lens for each teacher educator to gain perspective and insight into their decision-making related to Meaningful PE and social justice pedagogies The findings are presented in the form of four individual cases that illustrate the distinct story of each teacher educator’s engagement with Meaningful PE and social justice pedagogies. Teacher educators’ decisions were guided by their purposes and influenced by their contexts. Additionally, peers were an important source of pedagogical confrontations to influence decision-making practices. This research contributes to the understanding of innovation in PETE by illustrating how clarity about priorities promotes deliberate decision-making by teacher educators resulting in adoption or rejection of innovation.

This paper reports on the first phase of a longitudinal project investigating the perceived purposes that different stakeholders have for primary physical education (PE). In the study, the views of 19 teacher educators from seven countries across Europe were sought. While teacher educators may have some influence across the layers of an education system, little is known about this stakeholder group and their views about primary PE. Analysis of focus group conversations depicts that, while the teacher educators come from a wide range of contexts, their views on the purposes of primary PE were more similar than different. With primary PE in danger of disconnecting into different schools of thought, this finding is important because it suggests that more coherent and connected approaches have the potential to be developed. In line with most government policies from the seven countries, similarities focused on both an educational and outward-looking view of primary PE. Significantly, while the teacher educators recognised the key role of physical learning in primary PE, they also highlighted how children's social, emotional, and cognitive learning form part of an integrated view of primary PE. Teacher educators recognised the importance of primary PE expanding beyond the hall/gymnasium and into classroom, school, and community settings. However, some concerns were voiced about the influence of outsourcing and sport agendas that currently dominate. The views of these teacher educators offer a useful starting point for further investigation, particularly as they present the purposes of primary PE from both an integrated and educational perspective.

Formative assessment (FA) is an effective educational approach for optimising student learning and is considered as a promising avenue for assessment within physical education (PE). Nevertheless, implementing FA is a complex and demanding task for in-service PE teachers who often lack formal training on this topic. To better support PE teachers in implementing FA into their practice, we need better insight into teachers’ experiences while designing and implementing formative strategies. However, knowledge on this topic is limited, especially within PE. Therefore, this study examined the experiences of 15 PE teachers who participated in an 18-month professional development programme. Teachers designed and implemented various formative activities within their PE lessons, while experiences were investigated through logbook entries and focus groups. Findings indicated various positive experiences, such as increased transparency in learning outcomes and success criteria for students as well as increased student involvement, but also revealed complexities, such as shifting teacher roles and insufficient feedback literacy among students. Overall, the findings of this study underscore the importance of a sustained, collaborative, and supported approach to implementing FA.
形成性评价(FA)是优化学生学习的一种有效的教育方法,被认为是体育教育(PE)中一种有前途的评价途径。然而,对于在职体育教师来说,实施形成性评价是一项复杂而艰巨的任务,因为他们往往缺乏这方面的正规培训。为了更好地支持体育教师在实践中实施形成性评价,我们需要更好地了解教师在设计和实施形成性评价策略时的经验。然而,这方面的知识很有限,尤其是在体育教学中。因此,本研究考察了参加为期 18 个月专业发展计划的 15 名体育教师的经验。教师们在体育课上设计并实施了各种形成性活动,并通过日志记录和焦点小组对其经验进行了调查。研究结果显示了各种积极的经验,如增加了学习成果和学生成功标准的透明度,以及学生参与度的提高,但也揭示了一些复杂的问题,如教师角色的转变和学生反馈素养的不足。总之,这项研究的结果强调了持续、合作和支持的方法对实施 FA 的重要性。

Sustained motivation for Daily Mile participation at higher physical activity intensities may contribute to the attainment of children's daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) targets and long-term health benefits. However, individual variability exists in the amount of MVPA accumulated by children during the Daily Mile. The current study explored children's motivation for participating in the Daily Mile at MVPA intensity, using a theory of planned behaviour framework. Twenty-five children (mean age = 10.07 ± 0.60 years) from the Northwest of England were recruited to the study; 52% were female and 88% were White. Participants completed a questionnaire, with an open-ended response format, probing behavioural, control, and normative beliefs for participation in the Daily Mile at MVPA intensity. Template analysis was conducted independently by two researchers to identify main themes and subthemes. Findings showed that children possessed a range of behavioural, control, and normative beliefs about MVPA participation during the Daily Mile. Prominent behavioural beliefs included fitness enhancement, implications for concentration and learning, positive affective states, and pain and discomfort. Key control beliefs included weather, space and health restrictions, and distractions from peers. Finally, peers and parents were salient normative beliefs. Children possessed a range of modal beliefs in relation to MVPA participation during the Daily Mile. Implications of the findings, and methods for practitioners seeking to maximise the contribution of the Daily Mile to children's daily MVPA targets are discussed.

Implications of the findings, and methods for practitioners seeking to maximise the contribution of the Daily Mile to children's daily MVPA targets are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47681,"journal":{"name":"European Physical Education Review","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140104909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the important role of feedback in student learning, this scoping review investigated how feedback has been conceptualised and examined, and how the teacher and student have been positioned in feedback processes in physical education (PE) research. Following recommended processes for conducting a scoping review, 110 papers were included, and data were extracted and synthesised to address the aim. Findings identified a lack of conceptual and theoretical underpinnings, and considerable variability in feedback terminology used in PE. Feedback was mainly positioned as being transmitted verbally from the teacher to the student to evaluate performances. Research methods mainly focused on the teacher's feedback behaviours, with less attention given to how the student receives, interprets, and uses feedback to advance their learning. Based on the findings, we recommend that future feedback research in PE is underpinned by theory and frameworks that acknowledge the active role of both the teacher and the student in the feedback process. Additionally, given the critical element of feedback effectiveness is not in the provision of feedback, but how it is interpreted and used, research methods that further consider how students engage with feedback opportunities are required. If we are to maximise feedback's learning potential, future PE research and practices should consider how students can be further activated in the feedback process.

Grounded in self-determination theory, an integrative and fine-grained circumplex model, based on teachers’ autonomy support, structure, control, and chaos, has been proposed. The present study aimed to examine possible differences in students’ perceptions of physical education (PE) teachers’ motivating and demotivating styles and the eight different approaches, respectively, regarding students’ socio-demographic variables, and different affective, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes. A sample of 669 Spanish secondary students aged 12–17 years (mean age ( Mage) = 14.65; standard deviation ( SD) = 1.47; 52% girls) participated in this cross-sectional study. Boys reported significantly higher values in the chaotic style and the domineering approach than girls. Second- and third-cycle students (Year 10, Year 11, and Year 12) reported significantly higher values in autonomy-supportive and structuring styles, and significantly lower values in the domineering approach than first-cycle students (Year 8 and Year 9). Second-cycle students (Year 10 and Year 11) reported significantly higher values in the demanding approach than first-cycle students (Year 8 and Year 9). Third-cycle students (Year 12) reported significantly lower values in the awaiting approach than the first-cycle students (Year 8 and Year 9). Finally, as a whole, students who reported positive experiences in PE, high learning, and high intention to participate in physical activity reported significantly higher values in autonomy-supportive and structuring styles, as well as the demanding approach, and significantly lower values in the chaotic style. The results highlight the importance of PE teachers adopting motivating styles and avoiding demotivating styles, especially with boys and lower grade levels, to promote meaningful experiences in PE and an active lifestyle.
