• In Event: 29.073 - Learning to Teach and Using a Models-Based Approach in Physical Education

Abstract

This paper sets out to consider the pedagogical changes that occur in a physical education teacher’s move towards adopting a models-based approach to teaching physical education. Data from a longitudinal study on one teacher’s journey of developing models-based practice includes reflective diary, unit diary, post unit and post cycle reflective analysis, and student interviews. The stronger themes from preliminary analysis of the data include working toward facilitating a change in practice, sufficient time to consider changes in practice, and teacher and student prior learning.
