Dr. Marcos Godoi is a professor at the School of Physical Education at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, located in Cuiabá, Brazil. Marcos also worked as a PE teacher in schools for twenty years, and currently supervises four Master's students who are interested in exploring Meaningful PE in their contexts. Marcos's research interests are related to the analysis of physical education pedagogical and curricular practices, the professional development of physical education teachers, and of course, meaningful physical education. 

In this episode, we discuss contextual challenges and opportunities in the Portuguese-speaking countries of Brazil, Portugal, and Mozambique, where Marcos conducts his studies. Marcos shares some of the recurring and new features that have emerged from his exploratory study. 

Show Notes:

• Ang Chen - Meaningfulness in Physical Education: A Description of High School Students’ Conceptions  The translation mistakenly describes Chen as a Hawaiin researcher, than the research being conducted in Hawaii.
