“…It is important to investigate the perceptions of PSTs that are learning HPE teaching practices (McMahon & Dinan Thompson, 2014;Haynes et al, 2016;Hyndman, 2017b). The present study addresses a gap in the international literature by providing insight into PSTs' perceptions of the potential of using contemporary social media platform Twitter during their H-PETE training.…”

“…to be important for their future careers (Hyndman, 2017b). Many PSTs can approach learning with a 'surface approach' (Entwistle & Tait, 1990;Gow & Kember, 1990;Marton & Booth, 1997;Pill et al, 2012) which can leave knowledge gaps that require addressing (Hyndman, 2017b).…”

A strong content knowledge is vital to facilitate effective outcomes in HPE (Horsley, 2012) and many PSTs have concerns about H-PETE knowledge gaps alongside developing new HPE teaching ideas (Hyndman, 2017b). Health statistics, developing knowledge of HPE ideas, anatomy/physiology and technology have been found to be key areas PSTs are requiring professional development (Hyndman, 2017b).…”

Health statistics, developing knowledge of HPE ideas, anatomy/physiology and technology have been found to be key areas PSTs are requiring professional development (Hyndman, 2017b). These professional development opportunities are important for future teachers, as acquiring a catalogue of ideas to deliver quality HPE classes ensures classroom students' learning is optimally catered for (Stronge et al, 2011;Pill, Harvey & Hyndman, 2017).…”

The advent of Web 2.0 technologies such as Twitter are reflective of an improved capacity for global educative collaboration. Yet there is an absence of research determining the potential of social media within Health and Physical Education Teacher Education (H-PETE). The aim of this paper was to therefore determine pre-service teachers' (PSTs) perceptions of the potential of using Twitter within H-PETE training. The study was underpinned by a constructivist online learning framework. PSTs (n=35) enrolled at a regional Australian university were recruited to participate via online survey. Themes revealed PSTs perceived Twitter could be valuable during H-PETE for facilitating learning, technology engagement, capturing international insight, enhancing collaboration and communication. In contrast, PSTs described potential barriers to using Twitter relating to receiving adequate training, privacy, excessive technology use, determining Twitter's functionality and application across educational contexts. Unpacking PSTs' perceptions of the potential of Twitter within H-PETE can contribute to the pedagogical decisions made by teacher educators to improve social media uptake in PSTs.

“…Due to the practical nature of PE often being taught away from structured, seated classrooms, it is important that PE teachers consider technology integration that can be applied beyond the confines of a classroom to capture and enhance student engagement (Juniu, 2011). Pre-service teachers (PSTs) must develop the appropriate pedagogical knowledge and subsequent application of a variety of teaching skills to use in practical contexts that often differ from other teaching disciplines (Hyndman, 2017).…”

Teacher Education programs have a unique and important role to play in assisting pre-service teachers (PSTs) to deliver developmentally-appropriate physical education (PE) classes. Despite this important role, the 'physical' nature of PE classes and the growing externallyfocused environment of online tertiary education programs can make it challenging to provide access to real-life practical PE learning experiences for PSTs. One possible solution to this is facilitating simulated on-campus learning experiences to those online. A form of technology that has emerged within educational contexts that has the potential to simulate PE learning and address a number of key learning areas is GoPro video recording devices. To date, there is little investigation of the potential of simulating PE practical learning processes via GoPro video technology. The aim of this paper is to report on teacher field note observations and reflections underpinned by a Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. It was revealed that the suitability of GoPro technology was enforced by its portable nature and the ability of the camera to capture point-of-view vision. It is vital for teacher training programs to enhance PST 'readiness' by providing simulated experiences from PE practical classes to ensure graduate standards are met.
