Due to the overemphasis of traditional sports at the expense of other movement domains in physical education (PE) programmes, there is a need to consider what factors might enable or limit PE teachers’ incorporation of some of these other domains that can support student learning. The focus of this article is on one such marginalized domain – alternative environment activities (AEAs). AEAs can afford students a breadth of opportunities for moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in different environments (i.e. land, snow and ice, water, air) and improve environmental awareness and stewardship. This article reports on a comparative investigation of Nova Scotian (Canadian) and Irish PE teachers’ incorporation of AEAs in their PE programmes. To understand what similarities or differences might exist with respect to these PE teachers’ incorporation of AEAs, along with existing enablers and barriers, a self-selected sample of current PE teachers (Nova Scotia = 53; Ireland = 64) completed a 22-item online questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were employed to conduct comparisons among the two data sets. PE teachers’ understandings of curricular requirements for AEAs were found to be an issue in both Nova Scotia and Ireland. Reported significant differences include: AEA-related professional development participation; most important factors for deciding not to include AEAs; and feelings of school administrative support towards AEA incorporation. Findings also suggest that various issues may be hindering incorporation of AEAs in PE programmes, and that some of these issues do differ based on where the PE programme is situated.

大西洋两岸的替代性环境活动:加拿大与爱尔兰的考虑和比较

由于在体育(PE)计划中过分强调传统运动而牺牲了其他运动领域,因此有必要考虑哪些因素可能使或限制体育教师纳入其他一些可以支持学生学习的领域。本文的重点是这样一种边缘化领域-替代环境活动(AEA)。AEA可以为学生提供在不同环境(即土地,雪和冰,水,空气)中进行中度至剧烈运动的广泛机会,并提高他们的环保意识和管理能力。本文报告了对加拿大新斯科舍人和爱尔兰体育教师将AEA纳入其体育课程的比较研究。为了了解与这些体育老师并入AEA以及现有的推动因素和障碍之间可能存在的相似点或不同之处,自选样本的现有体育老师(新斯科舍省= 53;爱尔兰= 64)完成了22个项目在线问卷。描述性和推断性统计分析被用于在两个数据集之间进行比较。在新斯科舍省和爱尔兰,体育老师对AEA课程要求的理解都是一个问题。报告的重大差异包括:与AEA相关的专业发展参与;决定不包括AEA的最重要因素;以及对加入AEA的学校行政支持的感觉。研究结果还表明,各种问题可能会阻碍将AEA纳入体育教育计划,
