'We'Re Trying to Produce Serious Educators': Impact of Secondary Organizational Socialization on Mid-Career Faculty Members' Delivery of PETE
Sport, Education and Society, v28 n4 p369-380 2023
The purpose of this study was to describe the impact of secondary organizational socialization on mid-career faculty members' (FMs) delivery of physical education teacher education (PETE). Data were collected with four qualitative techniques and analyzed using analytic induction and constant comparison. FMs delivered PETE based on the behavioristic, traditional/craft, and critical-inquiry orientations to teacher education. Cultural components and conditions that supported or undermined the FMs' implementation of PETE were identified. FMs fully complied with positive aspects of their cultures and conditions and coped with negative and unfavorable aspects by strategically complying with or strategically redefining their situations, or finding a new position. These FMs' stories should help doctoral students transition into higher education and inspire other FMs and administrators to reflect on the extent to which they support or undermine those attempting to conduct PETE.
