Summary: This study examined the acquisition of common content knowledge, specialized content knowledge, and performance by preservice teachers through their K-12 physical education and extracurricular experiences, as well as the effects of a content course in improving their content knowledge and performance. The results showed that the content course had a significant positive effect on the posttest scores of all variables except performance. However, the levels obtained were still suboptimal for all common content knowledge and specialized content knowledge variables. The study suggests the need for further research on the design of content courses in physical education teacher education.

Summary: The study clarified the core concepts of ESD-specific teacher competences through a systematic literature review, but discussions in the field of physical education are still lacking. The review found a more detailed examination of ESD-specific professional knowledge and beliefs, but categories of motivational orientation and self-regulation received less attention. PE-specific aspects were not adequately reflected in the reviewed literature.

Summary: This study examines the relationships between demographic variables, common content knowledge (CCK), and specialized content knowledge (SCK) of Chinese physical education teachers in teaching soccer. The results show that gender and the number of soccer workshops attended significantly predict CCK scores, while teaching rank predicts SCK scores. However, no relationship is found between CCK and SCK. These findings suggest that preservice education and professional development do not adequately prepare teachers in teaching CCK and SCK.

Summary: The tenacious and inaccurate prior conceptions of students pose a challenge to conceptual change in biology education. A systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention studies in biology revealed that conceptual change interventions have a large effect on conceptual understanding, with refutational text being the most effective intervention. However, the most effective interventions dealt with simplified phenomena.

Summary: This study examined the application of professional-vision skills in classroom situations. Through a 90-minute intervention with 85 biology pre-service teachers, it was found that the combination of knowledge acquisition and application improved students' ability to apply professional-vision skills. The intervention involved an introductory text followed by classroom video examples, and students who read about specific tutoring strategies made more references to pedagogical concepts in their analyses compared to those who read about generic video observational guidelines.
