Concerns on the Pre-service and In-service Primary Physical Education Student Teachers

職前及在職師訓小學體育敎師的敎學關注

Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.

Teacher Concerns Questionnaire (TCQ) was administered to 75 Hong Kong pre-service and in-service student teachers of primary physical education prior to their teaching practice or the commencement of teaching supervision period. Results showed no significant differences in all concern scale scores between groups and the three-factor structure of TCQ could not be replicated. Recommendations for future research were made: First, a modified TCQ for physical educators needs to be specifically designed. Second, qualitative data should be collected for more in-depth study of teacher concerns. Third, longitudinal research design should be used. Fourth, other factors that are likely to influence teacher concerns should also be considered.

75位職前及在職小學師訓體育敎師於實習/視導開始前填寫「敎師關注問題問卷」(TCQ)。結果顯示職前及在職小學師訓體育敎師關注的問題並無顯著差異。因素分析結果亦沒有出現TCQ的三因子結構。作者建議未來進行有關研究時應：（一）設計及採用專為探討體育敎師關注問題的問卷；（二）使用質的研究方法'更深入地探討敎師關注問題；（三）進行長期追縱研究；及（四）考慮其他可能影響敎師敎學關注問題的因素。
