The Use of ICT in the Teaching and Learning of Physical Education in Compulsory Education: How Do We Prepare the Workforce of the Future?
Tearle, Penni; Golder, Gill
European Journal of Teacher Education, v31 n1 p55-72 Feb 2008
This paper reports on research into the use of ICT within a one-year initial teacher education (ITE) course in the UK, specialising in physical education (PE). The study examined how the course, which operates in both university and school-based settings, endeavoured to support trainees' use of ICT in PE and then to identify areas where the programme could be improved in this respect. It also noted any specific training or resourcing needs which may be required to implement the recommended improvements. The findings showed the high level of enthusiasm of the trainees, university tutors and school-based PE teachers for making more use of ICT in teaching and learning PE, and their willingness to make changes in their practice to accommodate this. It also revealed a severe shortage of subject-specific professional development, and a widespread lack of understanding of needs, which was felt to have contributed to the lack of relevant ICT resources to which most school PE departments had access. (Contains 1 figure, 3 tables, and 1 note.)
