Developing Effective Teaching in Physical Education Through Practice-Based Teacher Education
Category: Teaching and Learning
Symposium Description: The disconnect between what preservice teachers learn in teacher education programs and what they face in classrooms has been a longstanding issue (Darling-Hammond, 2021). Practice-based teacher education (PBTE) is a framework that aims to bridge this gap. İn physical education, Ward and colleagues conceptualized PBTE at the macro (curriculum) and micro (pedagogy) levels. This symposium will present the findings of four research studies that adopted PBTE in physical education teacher education programs.

Assessing Preschoolers’ Physical Activities: Progresses Made and to Be Made
Category: Measurement and Evaluation
Symposium Description: Health scientists and practitioners have long believed that regular physical activity is essential to maintain good health. So it is not surprising that for a very long time, individual health professionals and health organizations have been making recommendations regarding the types and amounts of physical activity needed for health and fitness.
Extended Description: Physical activities (PA) guidelines have recommended that preschoolers should actively engaged in PA most of the day. Efforts were also made to develop valid and reliable tools to assess preschoolers’ PA participation. Yet, many challenges remained. After providing a review of the progress made and challenges remaining, a new effort to develop a preschool-specific PA assessment system will be introduced.
