Abstract
The Primary Physical Education Teacher Education in Europe (PRIME PETE) programme has developedthus far important Intellectual Outputs (IO). The main IO are:
• IO#1 - overview on PRIME PETE in Europe, which includes a review of the literature and a Delphiconsensus study;
• IO#2 - recommendations on PRIME PETE, that have resulted from the integration work of therecommendations arising from three main programme resources (i.e., output of the literature review,Professional Development Event1 output, and output of the Delphi consensus study);
• IO#3 - definition and development of the primary physical education (PE) teacher profile (bothgeneralist and specialist, including subject-related knowledge, skills, competencies, etc.);
• IO#4 - theoretical and methodological framework for PRIME PETE;
• IO#5 - development of a modular PRIME PETE programme consisting of course modules and micro-modules based on the theoretical and methodological framework for PRIME PETE.
Following the previously developed outputs, the aim of this IO#6 is to develop a method and tool(s) toevaluate the PRIME PETE course modules and micro-modules. The modules and micro-modules weredeveloped by the partner experts, were informed by their work at the respective Universities and theoutcomes of IO#1 - IO#5. All micro-modules were open to an evaluation process at the ProfessionalDevelopment Events in Brixen, Italy, and Lisbon, Portugal (which were incorporated in the Learning andTeaching Training events).2 Table 1 presents the modules and micro-modules which were evaluatedduring the Professional Development Events. This IO consists of two different systematic evaluation toolsassessing the quality of the course modules and micro-modules developed in IO#5 from two differentperspectives: (1) teacher educators, as experts; (2) student-teachers; and (3) in-service teachers as target groups.
