The practical epistemology of physical and sports education teachers and the teaching of team sports
One of the theoretical currents providing a window into the professional knowledge of teachers is the approach developed in didactics research to investigate teachers’ practical epistemology. This article shows how a practical epistemology can be documented based on a training module focused on analysis of two basketball-related learning situations that were led by two of the nine teachers participating in the module. A didactic analysis of the contents of conversations and discussions by the participants uncovers diverse practical epistemologies rooted in different conceptions of team sports instruction.
