ABSTRACT Previous research has not explored the potential of distance learning to prepare preservice teachers (PCTs) for promoting children’s physical activity. The purpose of this study was to (a) examine the perceptions and experiences of PCTs, inservice classroom teachers, university instructors, and elementary students who were involved in a semester-long distance delivery course that included a service-learning (SL) component with an emphasis on classroom movement integration (MI). Using a qualitative single case study design, interviews, observations, and artifacts (e.g. PCTs’ reflections and academic work) were thematically analyzed. Findings produced three themes including student-centered approach, benefit/importance of physical activity, and connect and reflect. These themes showed that participants’ perceptions and experiences support constructivist-guided SL using a distance delivery design. This study adds to the emerging research base on school-university partnerships to support schools in the implementation of comprehensive school physical activity programming.

准备职前教师以促进运动整合的在线课程

摘要 先前的研究并未探讨远程学习在培养职前教师 (PCT) 以促进儿童体育活动方面的潜力。本研究的目的是 (a) 调查参与一学期远程交付课程的 PCT、在职课堂教师、大学教师和小学生的看法和经验，该课程包括服务学习 (SL) 部分和强调课堂运动整合（MI）。使用定性的单一案例研究设计，对访谈、观察和人工制品（例如 PCT 的反思和学术工作）进行了专题分析。调查结果产生了三个主题，包括以学生为中心的方法、体育活动的益处/重要性以及联系和反思。这些主题表明，参与者的看法和经验支持使用远程交付设计的建构主义指导的 SL。这项研究增加了关于校校伙伴关系的新兴研究基础，以支持学校实施全面的学校体育活动计划。
