The purpose of this study was to describe the acculturation of six British physical education (PE) preservice teachers (PSTs). The research questions we sought to answer were: (a) What were the PSTs’ values, beliefs, and perspectives regarding PE? and (b) What factors shaped the PSTs’ values, beliefs, and perspectives during their acculturation? We collected data with three types of formal interviewing and employed standard interpretive techniques to reduce the data to themes. Key findings were that the PSTs aspired to a career teaching secondary PE, possessed a balanced orientation to teaching curricular PE and coaching extracurricular sport, and espoused a mostly traditional multi-activity curriculum that was dominated by sport. The main attractors to a career in PE were the opportunity to maintain a connection with sport and working with youth. The key shaper of the PSTs’ perspectives was their apprenticeships of observation. These findings should aid sport pedagogy faculty in their efforts to produce stronger initial teacher education programs.

“我希望孩子们对体育活动有和我一样的感觉”：英国职前体育教师的文化适应


本研究的目的是描述六名英国体育 (PE) 职前教师 (PST) 的文化适应情况。我们试图回答的研究问题是： (a) PST 对 PE 的价值观、信念和观点是什么？ (b) 哪些因素在 PST 的文化适应过程中塑造了他们的价值观、信仰和观点？我们通过三种类型的正式访谈收集数据，并采用标准解释技术将数据简化为主题。主要调查结果是，PST 渴望从事中学体育教学工作，对课程体育教学和课外体育教练具有平衡的定位，并拥护以体育为主的传统多活动课程。体育职业的主要吸引力是有机会与体育保持联系并与年轻人一起工作。 PST 观点的关键塑造者是他们的观察学徒经历。这些发现应该有助于体育教育学教师努力制定更强大的初始教师教育计划。
