Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine how sports practice during school years and presently affects teachers’ beliefs and perceptions about Physical Education. The descriptive and survey-based inferential study included 234 Primary Education student teachers (67.5% women and 32.5% men). Physical Education students are characterized by having higher previous resources to design warming-up routines, a physical conditioning program of sports and physical activities. Students who perceive themselves as more capable of participating and organizing dance-related activities chose other areas, and women felt more capable to conduct that task. Sport experience and beliefs acquired during school years for physical activity, gender and personal experience in spare-time physical activities impact one’s call to be a Physical Education teacher.
