Objetivo: Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar e compreender as redes de interações dos professores de Educação Física iniciantes na carreira, no processo de socialização docente. Métodos: Para isso, foi realizado uma etnografia em duas escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Porto Alegre (RS). Durante o trabalho de campo, que durou seis meses, foram acompanhados dois professores, um de cada escola. Os instrumentos utilizados para obtenção das informações foram diários de campo, observações e entrevistas. O material construído no campo foi compilado e organizado em pastas, após a leitura foram elencadas unidades de significados que nos auxiliaram na construção de categorias de análises. Resultados e conclusão: Compreendemos que as redes de interações são construídas para a socialização dos professores iniciantes nas escolas. A secretaria municipal de educação, a cultura escolar e os pares socializadores são os elementos que tecem os fios da socialização docente dos professores iniciante e são responsáveis, na maioria das vezes, pela permanência e envolvimento destes na cultura escolar.ABSTRACT.

Occupational socialization theory describes the acculturation, professional preparation, and organizational socialization of physical education teachers and addresses factors that contribute to their decisions and behaviors. Utilizing occupational socialization theory as a grounding framework, this paper summarizes research conducted on teacher socialization in physical education and provides recommendations for future research. Each of the three phases of socialization is reviewed as are related constructs. The paper concludes with a discussion of socialization into physical education more generally and addresses the limitations of the current body of literature. Future researchers are encouraged to continue using occupational socialization theory as a framework though which to understand the careers and pedagogical decisions of physical education teachers.

This study examined practicing teachers’ perspectives on the requisite characteristics needed for participants in PETE. Eighteen physical educators were interviewed. The interviews were audiotaped and transcribed, and the data were analyzed using analytic induction, which allowed the researcher to draw themes and commonalities from participant answers. Interpretivism and teacher socialization theories were used to analyze and understand the data. Dominant themes emerging from this study were that undergraduates should have a love for physical activity, should like children and people, be physically fit, and be flexible. The teachers also believed that a teacher educator’s effectiveness in preparing future physical educators depended on being credible, displaying a love for physical activity, and having concern for undergraduates and their development as teachers. Finally, themes emerging specific to characteristics of cooperating teachers included commitment to the profession, displaying effectiveness as teachers, and embodying personal characteristics such as honesty and adaptability. This study is significant in that it provides evidence of a shared technical culture in physical education, gives teacher educators valuable input as to the type of student who would likely be a good physical education teacher, and gives voice to those who teach physical education in an area in which they should be intimately familiar—the preparation of a teacher for public school.

The purpose of this study is to explore the extent to which beginning and experienced teachers differed in their perceptions of shaping school forces and their being shaped by school forces. The findings allow the authors to examine the link between teacher socialization research and practice in a physical education teacher education (PETE) program and to consider the practical (and institutional) changes that may improve the quality of teacher education. Six beginning physical education teachers (BTs) (in their first year of teaching) and six experienced physical education teachers (ETs) (who had been teaching for six years) took part in interviews and completed prompt sheets throughout the duration of a school year. The paper discusses ways in which one PETE program has attempted to use, and plans for future use of, BTs’ and ETs’ accounts of socialization to inform how best to prepare PSTs for the reality of teaching in schools.
