Abstract

In an international context marked by profound social, political, and educational transformations, this paper analyses the current challenges of teacher education, with a particular focus on Physical Education. It discusses the tension between bureaucratic models of professionalism and proposals for critical and transformative professionalism, arguing that teacher education should be conceived as a continuous, situated, and collaborative process, oriented toward the promotion of social justice and the transformation of teaching practices in real school contexts. The paper also advocates for the reconfiguration of teacher education programs, emphasizing the integration of theory, practice, and research, collaborative work within communities of practice/learning, and the creation of inclusive and pluralistic learning environments. This contribution aims to enrich the debate on teacher education by proposing pathways toward a more critical, collaborative, and socially committed professional practice.
