Abstract [en]

Background: Research has shown that professional development positively influences teachers’ capacity to reflect on new knowledge and practice. One way of working with collegial learning in schools is through so-called research circles, in which teachers and researchers collaborate on specific content.

Purpose: This presentation aims to illuminate how a research circle can develop and deepen physical education teachers’ (PE) critical reflection on a child-centred coaching approach.

Methods: The research circle was conducted within the health promotion intervention. The intervention focused on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), incorporating a child-centred coaching approach. The research circle consisted of three full days during a school year with PE teachers (N=22, approximately 18 per meeting) from eight primary and middle schools (from grades 4 to 9) in eight municipalities in Sweden, and three researchers. The data consist of group discussions audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim in the research circle meetings.

Findings: During a thematic analysis, three themes were identified: Creating an inclusive environment, Challenges to motivate all pupils, and Adapting MVPA activities.

Conclusion: The research circle contributed to critical reflections that improved actions in the intervention and everyday practice, as the teachers learned from each other and the researchers when critically reflecting on a childcentred perspective on practice.
