Influence of Secondary Organizational Socialization on How Physical Education Teacher Education Program Coordinators Execute Their Administrative Roles and Responsibilities
Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, v42 n3 p547-555 2023
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of secondary organizational socialization on how physical education teacher education program coordinators execute their administrative roles and responsibilities. Two female program coordinators located within the United States were individually interviewed and provided documentation for analysis. Data analysis was conducted using analytic induction and constant comparison techniques. Both participants acted as "customizers, persuaders," and "interpreters." The factors influencing the socialization of physical education teacher education coordinators were department faculty, college administration, student enrollment data, and cooperating teacher feedback. Although working at very different institutions, the roles, responsibilities, and socialization influences for both participants were similar. In addition, and despite the prevalence of low enrollments and the educative teacher performance assessment, program coordinators appeared to negate these issues and were effective in executing their administrative roles and responsibilities. These findings would be of interest to those interested in and/or currently maintaining administrative positions in physical education teacher education.
