Research Conducted at University of Alabama Has Provided New Information about COVID-19 ("it's Been a Hell of a First Year. I Can Tell You That"Two Novice Physical Educators' Experiences Teaching In a Global Pandemic)

2023 OCT 24 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx COVID-19 Daily -- Data detailed on Coronavirus - COVID-19 have been presented.

Article Description

Purposes: The purposes of this study were to describe (a) the perspectives and practices of two beginning physical education teachers working in the COVID-19 pandemic and (b) the influence of the teachers’ occupational socialization on these perspectives and practices. Method: Data were collected with four qualitative techniques (formal interviews, informal interviews, document analysis, and a reflection journal). They were analyzed by employing the techniques of analytic induction and constant comparison. Findings: Jason and Lane were able to cope with and successfully adapt their teaching to the conditions dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This appeared to be due to the influence of their professional and secondary professional socialization and the fact that their schools’ cultures were mainly supportive. Conclusions: The study indicates that research-based undergraduate physical education teacher education combined with a specialist sport pedagogy master’s degree can produce skilled physical educators able to deliver effective physical education, even in very difficult circumstances.
