Pre-service and beginning teachers have to negotiate an unfamiliar
and often challenging working environment, in both teaching spaces
and staff spaces. Workplace Learning in Physical Education explores
the workplace of teaching as a site of professional learning. Using
stories and narratives from the experiences of pre-service and
beginning teachers, the book takes a closer look at how
professional knowledge is developed by investigating the notions of
'professional' and 'workplace learning' by drawing on data from a
five year project. The book also critically examines the literature
associated with, and the rhetoric that surrounds 'the practicum',
'fieldwork' 'school experience' and the 'induction year'. The book
is structured around five significant dimensions of workplace
learning: Social tasks of teaching and learning to teach
Performance, practice and praxis Identity, subjectivities and the
profession/al Space and place for, and of, learning Micropolitics
As well as identifying important implications for policy, practice
and research methodology in physical education and teacher
education, the book also shows how research can be a powerful
medium for the communication of good practice. This is an important
book for all students, pre-service and beginning teachers working
in physical education, for academics researching teacher
workspaces, and for anybody with an interest in the wider themes of
teacher education, professional practice and professional learning
in the workplace.
