Abstract
This paper reports on research that has explored the use of
narrative as a pedagogical tool in pre service teacher education.
Specifically, we pursue the use of narrative to engage with pre service
teachers’ embodied experiences [their lived body] and the ways in
which these experiences are in turn currently influencing their ‘living
bodies’ in regard to what Health and Physical Education (HPE) is
and how it should be taught. Data in the form of an assemblage of pre
service teachers’ narratives are presented to show how both the lived
and living body contributes to thoughts and ideas about HPE.
Discussion also reflects on the pedagogical merits of using narrative
in pre service teacher education. We contend that narrative has a
potentially important role to play in pre service teachers coming to
better understand their bodies and can assist in moving them beyond
what they experienced as HPE as school students.
