The development of a teacher educator requires a sustained, systematic, and critical inquiry into one’s own practice.
The purpose of this study was to explore how two doctoral students, in their first semester of doctoral study, understood how to do physical education teacher education in an introductory teaching method class, through the lens of socialization theory.
This was a collaborative self-study using an interpretative phenomenological analysis.
Three themes were identified.
First, social justice and its sub-themes:
(a) challenges in changing habited behaviors,
(b) social justice issues embedded in the class material, and
(c) understanding diversity, change, and the importance of adaptability.
Second, practice-based teacher education and its two sub-themes:
(a) alignment between theory and practice, and
(b) core teaching practices.
Third, adapting to the COVID-19 environment and sub-themes of:
(a) environmental constraints,
(b) improving while being online, and
(c) creating a supportive and caring atmosphere in the breakout sessions.

Physical education teacher education (PETE) programs are encouraged to develop teachers capable of delivering technology integrated learning experiences.
Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) provides a framework for integrating technology into teacher education programs.
Occupational socialization theory describes an educator’s recruitment, training, and socialization in the teaching profession.
The purpose of this article is to propose a conceptual framework for helping preservice physical educators develop technological pedagogical content knowledge that is grounded in occupational socialization theory.
The authors specifically recommend a four-phase approach to help preservice teachers
(a) build their knowledge and learn to value technology in physical education,
(b) observe and explore through instructor modeling and integration,
(c) experiment and collaborate with mentoring and scaffolding, and
(d) discover through innovation and utilization.
These suggestions acknowledge the sociopolitical aspects of learning to teach with technology and implications are discussed along with the need to help preservice teachers transfer technology integration into their professional careers.
