Abstract
Preparing tomorrow’s teachers includes carefully developed curriculums, extensive class work and experiences that support student teachers to learn and apply content knowledge, theory and pedagogical skills. A significant part of this is often clinical work and student teaching experiences, which allow student teachers to put theory into practice. Teacher preparation programs seek to instil necessary skills and dispositions to be effective physical education teachers. However, there are previous, personal experiences of student teachers/ preservice teachers that are not part of formal teacher preparation that may influence teacher preparation. This professional enquiry considered the lasting impact of personal physical education (PE) experiences on preservice teachers (PSTs).
