This is the third Australian Article Club.

It covers the following article:

Nyberg, G., Backman, E., & Tinning, R. (2022). Moving online in physical education teacher education. Sport, Education and Society, 29(3), 358–370. https://doi.org/10.1080/13573322.2022.2142776

In this article the authors discuss the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic created for preservice teachers’ knowledge in and about movement and their developing movement capability in PETE in a Swedish University. In a way, covid potentially accelerated the process of a Physical Education degree transitioning to fully online. We discuss why this continues in some universities and the factors that contribute to it. We also discuss some of the effects we think it is having on graduate teachers and ultimately the effect it may have on students – all because the PE community and others do not value the 3 dimensions of Arnold’s model equally.
