Teaching Practices in Physical Education (UPiS-Study)
Funding: Swiss National Science Foundation SNSF
Duration: 01.02.2024 to 31.01.2028
Amount awarded: CHF 629.380
The research project examines teaching practice in the school subject of physical education from a didactic perspective in order to empirically demonstrate what is taught and learned in physical education lessons. Numerous studies from other subjects (e.g. TALIS video study) show that teaching practice is decisive for whether, what, how and how much students learn in class. Previous studies in physical education are mostly based on research models from other subjects, or analyze the effects of professional knowledge on students' learning outcomes. The project examines teaching practice in the school subject of physical education and closes a research gap by (1) looking at what is made the subject of teaching in physical education, (2) how the teaching processes are jointly constructed by teachers and students and (3) which learning processes are activated and take place in physical education and how. It must be assumed that the subject-specific patterns of teaching practice in physical education identified in this way differ significantly from patterns in other subjects.
