Abstract

In this research, collaborative self-study was used to examine our experiences as teacher educators who enacted a pedagogical innovation across three pre-service teacher education programs in two countries. The innovation focused on ways to promote pre-service teachers’ learning about teaching through the lens of meaningful physical education. Results show that teacher educators found it valuable to create meaningful learning environments where the role of meaningfulness was explicitly prioritized but there was varied impact in teaching for meaning in physical education teacher education. This was due to the different contexts and the order in which the teacher educators enacted the pedagogical innovation, whereby one teacher educator engaged with the pedagogical innovation in semester one and the others in semester two. Dans cette recherche, une approche d’autoformation collaborative a servi à examiner nos expériences de formateurs d’enseignants engagés dans une innovation pédagogique dans trois programmes de formation initiale dans deux pays. Cette innovation était centrée sur des modalités de développement des apprentissages des enseignants en formation sur l’enseignement d’une éducation physique signifiante. Les formateurs participants ont trouvé que la création de tels environnements d’apprentissage et leur priorisation étaient bénéfiques; les retombées de cette innovation sont variables. Ceci est dû aux contextes différents des formateurs et à l’ordre dans lequel l’innovation a été implantée, soit le premier ou le second semestre du programme
