This study examined preservice physical education teachers’ (PPETs’) technopedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) competencies. The participants were 1028 PPETs from 26 major universities representing all seven geographical regions of Turkey. The Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Deep- Scale developed by Kabakci Yurdakul et al. (2012) was used to measure TPCK competencies of PPETs. Descriptive statistics, an independent samples t test, and multivariate analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. The results showed that PPETs rated themselves at a high level in self-reported TPCK competencies in terms of the entire scale and its factors (design, exertion, ethics and proficiency). There was no significant main effect for gender (p < .05). Computer/internet-based background (p > .05) and PPETs’ interest in keeping up with the latest PE-related technological developments (p > .05) were significant variables in PPETs’ TPCK competencies. Overall, this study offers some evidence that the use of information and communication technology (ICT) is an important factor affecting PPETs’ TPCK competencies.

El objetivo principal del estudio ha sido comprobar qué manifiesta el profesorado de educación física en educación secundaria con relación al Conocimiento del contenido y al Conocimiento Pedagógico del contenido, según su formación inicial, permanente y las clases que imparte, pues este dominio supone una característica clave de los docentes. Un total de 18 profesores de EF de secundaria (lo que supone el 72% del profesorado existente; 14 hombres y cuatro mujeres) contestaron a un cuestionario, y a cuatro de ellos se les entrevistó para ampliar la información. Los resultados muestran que en la formación inicial y para nuevos contenidos predomina el interés por el conocimiento del contenido; mientras que en los contenidos que dicen dominar o que identifican, se interesan por el conocimiento pedagógico del contenido. Los resultados pueden servir para que el profesorado en ejercicio asuma una mejora en estos dos aspectos claves del conocimiento pedagógico, y la mejora de la eficacia en la enseñanza de la EF. También se señalan limitaciones del estudio en cuanto a la población y los temas abordados. Abstract. The objective of the study is to examine secondary education physical education teachers’ knowledge and pedagogical knowledge of contents, depending on their initial and permanent education, as well as on the classes they teach, as the former represents a key feature for teachers. A total of 18 secondary education PE teachers (72% of the existing teachers’ workforce; 14 men and four women) answered a questionnaire. Additionally, four of them were interviewed in order to collect further information. The results show that interest in knowing the content predominates in initial education and when presenting new contents, whereas pedagogical knowledge is the focus of teachers when they claim to master a certain content. These results can be used to promote in-service teachers’ improvement in these two key aspects of pedagogical knowledge, as well as to enhance teaching efficiency in PE. Population and addressed topics may be considered as limitations of this sudy.

ResumoO objetivo deste estudo é apresentar um conjunto de assertivas teóricas acerca do conhecimento pedagógico do conteúdo de professores de Educação Física na Educação Infantil. A escolha do tema justifica-se pela possibilidade de discussão sobre os avanços e contradições da atuação desses professores na infância. Neste cerne, verifica-se que o conhecimento pedagógico do conteúdo, como agregador dos elementos da base de conhecimentos necessários para o ensino, reúne saberes acerca do sujeito para quem irá ensinar (crianças da pré-escola), sobre os temas de ensino, conhecimento pedagógico geral e do contexto das instituições. A análise empreendida permite reconhecer as potencialidades e limitações das ações pedagógicas e, em decorrência, ampliar aportes teórico-metodológicos para consolidação do professor de Educação Física na primeira etapa da Educação Básica.Palavras-chave: Conhecimento Pedagógico do Conteúdo. Professor de Educação Física. Educação Infantil.Theoretical propositional about pedagogical content knowledgeAbstractThe aim of this study is to present a set of theoretical statements about the pedagogical content knowledge of Physical Education teachers. This theme is justified by the possibility of discussing theories upon the advances and contradictions in the action for these teachers in childhood. Therefore, the pedagogical content knowledge works as an aggregator of the knowledge base elements necessary for teaching, brings together knowledge about the subject for whom it will teach (preschool children), content knowledge, general pedagogical knowledge and institutional context. The analysis achieved allows recognizing the potential and limitations of pedagogical actions and, as a result, expanding theoretical and methodological contributions to consolidate the Physical Education teachers in the first stage of Education.Keywords: Pedagogical Content Knowledge. Physical Education Teachers. Children’s Education.Propuestas teóricas acerca del conocimiento pedagógico del contenidoResumenEl objetivo de este estudio es presentar un conjunto de descriptivas teóricas acerca del conocimiento pedagógico del contenido de los maestros de Educación Física en la Educación de la primera infancia. La elección del tema se justifica por la posibilidad de crear una discusión acerca de los avances y contradicciones de la actividad de estos maestros en la infancia. En este entorno, el conocimiento pedagógico del contenido, como agregador de los elementos de la base de conocimiento necesarios para la enseñanza, reúne el conocimiento acerca del tema para el que enseñará (niños en edad preescolar), acerca de los temas de enseñanza, conocimiento pedagógico general y del contexto de las instituciones. El análisis reconoce el potencial y las limitaciones de las acciones pedagógicas y, con ellos puede expandir las contribuciones teóricas y metodológicas para consolidar el maestro de Educación Física en la primera etapa de la Educación General Básica.Palabras clave: Conocimiento Pedagógico del Contenido. Maestros de Educación Física. Educación de la Primera Infancia.

<span>The purposes of this study were to (1) identify the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), Technology Integration Self Efficacy (TISE) and Instructional Technology Outcome Expectations (ITOE) of pre-service physical education teachers, (2) examine the relationships among TPACK, TISE and ITOE, and lastly (3) examine the differences between pre-service physical education teachers who perceived and who did not perceive technology integration by their university instructors on TPACK, TISE, and ITOE scores. Findings indicate that while TPACK, TISE and ITOE perceptions of pre-service physical education teachers were at satisfactory levels, university instructors were not good role models in the use of technology in their classrooms. Pre-service teachers reported that integration of physical education and sport-related emerging technologies were almost non-existent in the teaching practices within the university setting. TPACK, TISE, and ITOE were moderately related with each other (p&lt;0.05). Pre-service teachers' self-perceptions of TPACK, TISE, and ITOE were positively influenced by their perception of university instructors' technology integration into teaching in university courses (p&lt;0.05). Providing professional development programs for the teacher education program instructors, both in technology integration in teaching and in emerging physical education and sports-related technologies, is recommended.</span>

La formación digital tecnocéntrica del profesorado y el uso tradicional de las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC), muestran la debilidad del discurso pedagógico frente al tecnológico, confirmando la limitada intencionalidad didáctica de los docentes al usar dichas tecnologías. En educación física se carece de instrumentos específicos para estudiar esa realidad. El objetivo del trabajo fue validar, por el método Delphi, un cuestionario para medir el nivel de conocimiento y la intencionalidad didáctica del profesorado de educación física al usar las TIC, atendiendo a la edad y al género. Posteriormente se aplicó el cuestionario a una muestra representativa de 155 docentes de educación física de enseñanza primaria de Valencia y área metropolitana. Los resultados indican que el cuestionario posee fiabilidad y validez adecuadas para estudiar dichas variables, confirmando elevados conocimientos y mayor intencionalidad didáctica al usar tecnología entre los maestros respecto a las maestras y entre el profesorado joven en relación al de mayor edad. Los hallazgos revelan que los conocimientos predicen positivamente la intencionalidad pedagógica al usar las TIC y que la edad se relaciona negativamente con los conocimientos; también aconsejan alentar políticas de formación del profesorado que mejoren el paradigma técnico imperante, incorporen la perspectiva de género como eje transversal y apoyen modelos de hibridación tecnopedagógica en las aulas.Abstract. The technocentric and traditional training of teachers in the use of the information and communication technologies (ICT) show the weakness of the pedagogical discourse versus the technological discourse, confirming the limited educational intentionality of teachers when using these technologies. Moreover, in subjects such as physical education, there is a lack of specific instruments that allow studying this issue. The objective of the study was to develop and validate, by the Delphi method, a questionnaire to measure the level of knowledge and the educational intentionality of physical education teachers when using ICT, considering age and gender factors. Subsequently, the questionnaire was applied to a representative sample of 155 primary school teachers from the city of Valencia and metropolitan area. The results indicated that the questionnaire had a good reliability and validity. The findings also indicated the existence of a high level of knowledge among teachers. In addition, a greater educational intentionality was found among male teachers compared with female teachers, as well as among younger teachers compared with older teachers. Moreover, the results showed that level of knowledge was a positive correlate of educational intentionality, as well as teachers’ age was negatively related to level of knowledge. Considering the present findings, it would be relevant to develop teacher training policies that improve the prevailing technical paradigm and support alternative models that show the educational value of the ICT. This digital immersion could reduce gender and generational barriers to the use of ICT.
