“…J.C.F. Gutsmuths (1759-1839), a prominent teacher at the Philanthropist's School in Schnepfenthal, Germany, in «Gymnastik für die Jugend» (Gymnastics for Youth), presented a system of exercises based on natural science such as games, climbing, balancing, jumping, running, throwing, swimming, skating, exercises aimed at improving perception (Lundquist Wanneberg, 2018;Živanović, Milošević, 2017). He identified two main areas of gymnastics: natural, intended for healing, and artificial, whose movements aim at beauty and performance and not at function (utilitarian and non-utilitarian gymnastics) (Leonard, 1923).…”

“…Yan has been demonstrated by many authors (Kaimakanis et al, 2008;Krüger, R. Hofmann, 2015;Pfister, 2003;Reicher, 2020). P. H. Ling's genesis and evolution of gymnastics and his contribution to the development of kinesiology and physiotherapy are comprehensively considered (Lundquist Wanneberg, 2018;Melnick, 2016;Pfister, 2003). The educational methods of Swedish gymnastics for girls in the mid-nineteenth century have been analyzed in terms of the influence of gender representations (Leonard, 1904a;Westberg, 2018;Wikström-Grotell et al, 2013;Živanović, Milošević, 2017).…”

The relevance of the study is due to the need to improve the quality of training of future physical education (PE) specialists. Knowledge of the legacy of outstanding teachers is the basis for the formation of professional competencies of PE specialists. The experience of F. Nachtegall, the Scandinavian educator of New Times, the main stages of his activity on the introduction of PE in education, their content and results became an impulse to recognize the importance of physical and moral health of young people as the main object of attention of authorities, benefactors and society during the period under study. The educational reforms initiated by him ensured the availability of PE to all young people, promoted the education of healthy, industrious, useful citizens and led to the institutionalisation of PE. Founding Europe's first gymnastics club and a private gymnastics school for different classes, organising and running a school for training civic gymnastics teachers, and founding a gymnastics college - these are just a small part of Nachtegall's multifaceted activities. Nachtegall's practical experience had an enormous influence on the creation of the organisational, programme, control and methodological foundations for the formation of didactic knowledge on the teaching process of PE.

“…The Swedish 'light gymnastics' used no apparatus, consisting of calisthenics and exercises. It was freer and less harsh than the German and Amoros system (Wanneberg, 2018). For many years this was a more appealing approach to physical education and thus has become the prevailing pedagogy in physical education.…”

Physical education in Turkey has a rich tradition evolving with the changing needs of the country for about 200 years. Much of the evolution has been a product of reflection on the history of physical education and an analysis of the current status of physical education. By examining these areas, pioneers of physical education in Turkey have been able to lead efforts through an ever-changing landscape of societal, personal, and educational needs of students. Considering the developing technological possibilities and the requirements of the age, it is essential to develop educational practices with innovative understanding in the field of physical education and teacher education programs today. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief contextual overview of the history of physical education in Turkey, including teacher preparation as well as an overview of the current status of the field in schools. Building on this information, a vision forward for physical education teacher preparation will be provided leveraging the deep traditions of physical education planted in Turkey generations ago. In this context, the responsibilities of universities and other stakeholders in order to improve the physical education teacher education program will be explained with some examples and also recommendations will be provided.
