This research focuses on the construction of the supervising teaching practice professional identity of the cooperating teacher. To this end, it explored the discourses on the teaching practices and teacher education experiences; the legitimate participation in teacher education and working spaces; and the teaching perspectives that substantiate the pedagogical relationships and learning trajectories in the context of professional practice. A case study was conducted to examine the narratives of cooperating teachers, an experienced and a beginner on the supervisory roles and tasks of the pedagogical practice of Physical Education pre-service teachers during an academic year. Data were gathered through interviews. The qualitative inductive thematic analysis was informed by grounded theory coding procedures. Themes included: i) challenges in interacting with the pre- service teachers; and ii) challenges in the (re)configuration of the supervisory practices. The reconstruction of the cooperating teacher’s professional identity happens in the doing of their roles, the confrontation with the challenges encountered, the negotiation of interactions with the pre-service teachers, and the implementation of teaching perspectives that inform their practices and pedagogical supervision relations.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Entrepreneurial Education (EE) are quite abstract and demanding concepts for teacher students. Yet, Key Sustainability Competences and Entrepreneurial Competences entail important qualities of future citizens and workers, and teacher students should become prepared to accommodate education for these competencies in their teaching practice. This paper explores teacher students’ process of sense-making of sustainable development and how becoming a teacher who practices ESD connects with entrepreneurship. EE serves as a good mirroring surface to ESD as they both have their roots in Transformative Learning (TL) but pursue transformation towards different goals. The case study follows the vocational teacher education (VTE) students’ sensemaking of Sustainable Development as a part of teacher’s work during one semester which included integrated Thematic Studies of Sustainable Development. The qualitative content analysis of students’ texts focused on signs of transformative learning and was guided by the dimensions of sustainable development and learning goals set for teacher’s sustainability competences in the VTE curriculum. The results indicate that transformative learning is possible. Furthermore, they address the importance of certain entrepreneurial capabilities in the actualization of change agency.

Within teacher education problem-based learning (PBL) has the potential to enrich teaching and learning across the curriculum. It is suggested that PBL may offer a means of providing authentic scenarios for assisting pre-service teachers before encountering teaching practice. The use of media-based educational triggers and authentic scenarios may form a bridge between their studies and real-world teaching practice. Five media-rich educational triggers are described in early childhood education, physical education, educational technology, project management and inclusive education. Reusable media-based educational triggers may also provide potential resources for other educators within teacher education.

Teaching perspectives in initial teacher education are useful analytical tools for exploring the development of professional identity and the supervisory practices of cooperating teachers working with preservice teachers on school placement. A case study design was employed with an experienced physical education teacher newly appointed as a cooperating teacher to a cohort of three physical education preservice teachers to examine how his professional identity was challenged by the demands of the new role as a mentor. Data were collected throughout a one-year school placement and included three semi-structured interviews and the cooperating teacher’s weekly journal entries. Analysis was informed by grounded theory coding procedures. Open codes were collapsed into three metaphorical axial themes: (a) the chameleon, (b) a tailor-made cooperating teacher, and (c) the liaison of relations. To perform his new role as a cooperating teacher and surpass the emergent supervisory challenges in developing a pedagogical relationship with his first cohort of preservice teachers, the cooperating teacher called upon his educational perspectives on teaching physical education built on constructive, collaborative and inquiry premises, but ended up practising teaching perspectives echoing an apprenticeship model due to the preservice teachers’ personal characteristics.

This qualitative case study examines how a teacher education institution in China prepares culturally responsive Han teachers for diverse student populations. The purpose of this study was to explore preservice Han teachers’ perspectives of, and academic preparation in, multicultural education in order to enhance institutional quality and effectively prepare culturally responsive Han teachers for multicultural and multiethnic students in China. Four major findings revealed teacher candidates’ ambiguous perceptions of diversity; the inadequate academic preparation in teaching for diversity; disparity between academic training and teaching practice; and lack of institutional commitment to preparing teachers for diversity in China.

Data Collection Technique

This article seeks to study reports (or perceptions) of students and education professionals on sports school infrastructure in the didactic-methodological process of Physical Education classes, in five municipal public schools, for the final years of elementary school in the city of Armação dos Búzios-RJ, Brazil. Historical and dialectical materialism were the philosophical frameworks used to guide this qualitative method study in the format of multiple cases studies. Semi-structured interviews were used as a data collection technique for adult participants and questionnaires to students. Content analysis of the data led to three categories of analysis: Learning, Physical Space and Teaching Practice and Materials. The results suggest that the pedagogical practice and skills of students are severely affected in Physical Education, based on inefficient material provision and the type and quality of spaces used, including non-school environments such as outdoor courts and public squares.

ResumoRealizou-se uma pesquisa com o objetivo de conhecer quais elementos possam ter contribuído para a constituição de uma docência da Educação Física atenta à diversidade cultural. Como procedimento metodológico, optou-se pela pesquisa pedagógica qualitativa. O material resultante da realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas foi confrontado com a teorização cultural. Partindo da análise das concepções de professores da rede pública, que colocam em ação o currículo cultural da Educação Física, inferiram-se as possíveis relações entre a experiência pessoal, o olhar para a contemporaneidade e a atuação pedagógica. Podemos inferir que os elementos que contribuíram para a constituição de uma docência da Educação Física atenta à diversidade cultural podem ter sido gerados por uma trajetória de vida marcada pelo enfrentamento de situações socialmente adversas.Palavras-chave: Educação Física.

The video recording of lessons allows the analysis results to provide data about the teaching practice. Analyzing the pedagogical practice itself allows the teacher an exercise of self-reflection, as they become aware of their behavior in the classroom, leading to the revitalization of their teaching model. This study aims to present the use of autoscopy as a stimulus to reflection, to a new understanding of the pedagogical practice of teachers, in an action research. This is a case study, with a qualitative and descriptive approach, performed with a new nursing teacher. The data were initially collected through a semistructured biographical interview and subsequent video recording of the classes, characterizing nonparticipant observations. The application of autoscopy followed the proposal of action research, with its phases: exploratory phase, in-depth research, action phase, and evaluation phase. The autoscopy was a useful strategy to stimulate teacher reflection because during the projection of the sketches selected for the video of the autoscopy session, the teacher can see himself or herself in action and self-analyze and discuss the selected pedagogical moments, stimulating reflection and generating a new understanding about his or her teaching practice. In this way, the use of autoscopy under the epistemological perspective of action research stimulates the self-analysis and reflection of the teaching practice.
