- W821401812 abstract "This study investigates physical education (PE) teachers careers and professionaldevelopment in the context of Taiwanese junior high schools (pupils aged 12-14), wherea national educational reform the Grade 1-9 Curriculum was launched in 2001. Inparticular, from teachers perspectives, this study addresses questions about (1) how andwhy selected Taiwanese PE teachers engage in professional learning over their careers;(2) the impact of the introduction of a new curriculum and policies; (3) ways in whichprofessional learning could be supported more effectively. Eight case study PE teachers,who simultaneously worked as local coordinators, were invited as participants. Lifehistory method was followed by data analysis using constructivist grounded theory togenerate findings at three levels: individual life histories, cross-case themes and atheoretical framework. In addition, the process of data analysis, both manually andusing a popular software package, is critically compared. The findings suggest thatteachers beliefs about professional development were closely connected to theirindividual career histories, and these were influenced by a set of personal andcontextual factors in relation to their professional lives. Moreover, despite a majorgovernment curriculum reform, the implementation of the new curriculum resulted invery little change to these teachers practices, because: (1) the curriculum guidelineswere very flexible and were difficult for teachers to fully understand; and (2) there wasa lack of evaluation of, or accountability for, teachers practices. This study suggeststhat the Taiwanese government s aspirations for radical changes to teachers practice(both teaching and learning) are more likely to be realised by ensuring that policies andthe new curriculum are based on a more realistic understanding of teachers lives andcareers." @default.
