“…Studies analyzing the results from PETE students used all three types of methodology. Five studies used experimental and control groups: Chiva-Bartoll et al [ 40 ], Chiva-Bartoll et al [ 29 ], and Capella et al [ 38 ] used a mixed methods approach, while Chiva-Bartoll et al [ 42 ] and Willard and Crandall [ 58 ] used quantitative methods.…”

Service-learning (SL) is the subject of a growing number of studies and is becoming increasingly popular in physical education teacher education (PETE) programs. The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review of the implementation of SL programs with PETE students. The databases used were Web of Science, SPORTDiscus (EBSCO), and SCOPUS. Articles were selected on the basis of the following criteria: (a) published in a peer-reviewed journal; (b) covers the use of SL programs with PETE students; (c) relates to physical education or physical activity programs; (d) availability of a full-text version in English and/or Spanish. Thirty-two articles met the inclusion criteria. Two types of findings were observed: firstly, findings relating to the study characteristics and objectives and, secondly, recommendations for improvement of this type of intervention. The objectives of the different studies focused on (a) the impact of the SL methodology on PETE students’ professional, social, and personal skills; (b) its impact on the community; (c) analysis of the effectiveness and quality of the programs. All but two studies analyzed the impact of SL on PETE, while only four analyzed community participants and only three analyzed the quality of the SL program. Recommendations for improving SL programs used with PETE students included: all stakeholders, e.g., students and community participants, should be studied and coordinated; the quality of the programs should be assessed, as studying the effectiveness of SL programs could help to attain the objectives of both students and the community; mixed methods should be used; and intervention implementation periods should be extended to provide more objective, controlled measurements.

“…In this sense, on the threshold of the third millennium, Eyler and Giles [14] already pointed out that SL was a valid option to satisfy these approaches. Particularly, the competence-based approach to train Physical Education Teacher Education students (PETEs) encourages the implementation of SL, allowing students to apply learning in real conditions [15][16][17].…”

Learning with Older Adults through Intergenerational Service Learning in Physical Education Teacher Education

et al. 2020

(1) Background: The population of older adults is growing faster but most of them experience physical, psychological, and social limitations. Higher education should reflect these concerns by providing students appropriate skills to support a sustainable society and putting the acquired theoretical knowledge into practice. Intergenerational Service Learning (SL) is an educational approach capable of contributing to these requirements. The goal of the study was to analyze the effects of an intergenerational SL program from the complementary perspective of the different agents involved. (2) Methods: The study used hermeneutic phenomenological methodology, widely used in educational research. A total of 23 (three female) Physical Education Teacher Education students (PETEs) and 20 older adults (three male) participated. Reflective journals were used for PETEs and semi-structured group interviews for older adults. (3) Results: The following categories emerged from PETEs: social sensitivity and disconfirmation of negative stereotypes, academic and professional learnings, satisfaction and personal growth, and desire for social justice. From older adults, four complementary categories emerged: disconfirmation of negative stereotypes, improvement of physical function, satisfaction and desire of continuity, and social interaction. (4) Conclusions: Intergenerational SL offers important social and educational inputs by deconstructing negative stereotypes and providing positive experiences to both PETEs and older adults.

“…Within a mixed-method approach, this pre-experimental study relied upon a quantitative and qualitative research perspective with methodological triangulation [ 43 ]. Through purposive sampling, 53 students in their fourth year at secondary school ( M age = 15.50, SD age = 0.57; n = 16 female), and from two different school groups attending one north-eastern Spanish public secondary school, were taught through a hybrid TGfU/SE volleyball teaching unit.…”

“…Finally, TGfU/SE studies conducted so far have been carried out from a quantitative or qualitative approach, which, in some cases, limits the understanding of the findings. From a critical point of view, and with the aim of adding to past TGfU/SE evidence, the research studies conducted should rely on a mixed-method approach to obtain more in-depth insights into students’ motivational processes, beyond those that can be gathered through quantitative or qualitative data alone [ 43 ].…”

Grounded in self-determination theory, this pre-experimental study analyzed the effects of a hybrid teaching games for understanding/sport education (TGfU/SE) volleyball teaching unit on students’ motivational outcomes, using a mixed-method approach. It also examined whether the intervention was equally effective for boys and girls. Participants were 53 secondary school students (Mage = 15.50, SDage = 0.57) who were taught through a hybrid TGfU/SE unit. The structure of this unit was designed according to the characteristics of SE model, while learning tasks were designed by using the pedagogical principles of TGfU model. Both self-reported validated questionnaires and focus groups were used before and after intervention to assess students’ motivational responses. After the hybrid TGfU/SE unit, both quantitative and qualitative findings showed improvements in students’ perceptions of need-support from the physical education (PE) teacher, basic psychological needs satisfaction, novelty, and variety satisfaction, as well as intrinsic motivation compared to baseline values. Although the hybrid TGfU/SE unit was effective in both genders, a large effect size was found for girls. Despite the existence of social and cultural stereotypes in team sports such as volleyball in favor of boys, results highlight the importance of developing hybrid TGfU/SE units to improve students’ motivational outcomes, especially in girls.
