Abstract

Purpose: To understand the process of an international doctoral physical education teacher education instructor instituting change during one semester of teaching a university course in the United States. Method: Data included reflexive journal entries, recordings of peer debriefing meetings with a critical friend, informal WhatsApp messages, and anonymous feedback from students. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Results: The three main themes were (a) action research as a tool for change, (b) the challenges of the first year as a doctoral physical education teacher education instructor, and (c) the power of reflection. We discuss the main challenges the first author faced and the complexities of the process of developing her pedagogical philosophies in teaching higher education for the first time in a new culture. Conclusions: Action research served as a tool to overcome challenges, develop confidence, and autonomy. The support system provided by her advisors was the main asset for achieving pedagogical change.

在新世界中教学新教师教育者的变革追求

目的：了解一名国际体育教师博士生导师在美国大学教授一门课程的一个学期中实施变革的过程。研究方法数据包括反思性日记、与批评性朋友的同行汇报会录音、非正式的 WhatsApp 消息以及来自学生的匿名反馈。通过主题分析法对数据进行分析。结果三大主题分别是：(a) 作为变革工具的行动研究；(b) 作为体育教师教育博士生导师第一年所面临的挑战；(c) 反思的力量。我们讨论了第一位作者所面临的主要挑战，以及她在新文化环境中首次从事高等教育教学工作时发展教学理念过程的复杂性。结论：行动研究是克服挑战、培养自信和自主性的工具。她的顾问提供的支持系统是实现教学变革的主要资产。
