Une collaboration au-delà des frontières : un atout complémentaire dans la formation des enseignants

Abstract

Learning to teach Physical Education: answering research questions across borders

Since 2015 lecturers and students from two institutes of education have been collaborating on short mobility projects together in the field of Physical Education (PE). The Haute Ecole Pédagogique in Lausanne (HEP) and Dublin City University (DCU), Institute of Education are collaborating together in PEERs projects, which aim to prepare each student teacher to become a global teacher in a global world. This is an innovative initiative offered to the students and the researchers of the HEP Vaud within the framework of the PEERS programmes. PEERS projects constitute an essential opening to the world for all the participants. An international project is planned by alternating face to face and distance learning with peers ‘who live on the other side of the world’. Topics were broadly concerned with inclusion of children with special needs in PE lessons and enhancing quality teaching and learning within PE. Themes explored were: critical incidents in PE, academic learning time in PE lessons, formative assessment in PE and inclusion of children with special needs in PE lessons.
