Welcome to the second installment of the February 2021 PETE Collaborative summary. There were such rich discussion and additional chat participation throughout this Collaborative that we strongly recommend you listen to the full audio here.
This blog aims to summarize (to the best of my ability) the recent PETE Collaborative on recruitment and retention into PETE programs. The discussion audio can be found by searching “Playing with Research in Health and Physical Education” Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or most anywhere you listen to podcasts, or by clicking here. The discussion was rich and the chat was very active during the collaborative. It is our attempt to summarize the key points in this blog.
Have you ever considered why you wanted to become a physical education teacher? Have you ever thought about what innovative pedagogy means to you? Do you consider yourself to be innovative? What does success look like in physical education? How do you facilitate this for all students? This blog aims to prompt you to think about your own physical education story and how it has influenced the way you teach. Are you innovative or are you custodial in your practices, and where did your own beliefs come from?
We discuss research, theory and current issues in the fields of health and physical education in an easy to understand way. Our aim is to make research accessible to educators and university students from all over the globe.
