Physically Active Learning (PAL) integrates physical activity into classroom teaching and has been shown to benefit students' cognitive, social, and academic outcomes. Despite these advantages, PAL is not yet sustainably implemented in everyday school practice, highlighting the need for effective professional development (PD) formats for teachers. This randomized controlled experimental study examined how different PD formats, varying in their mode of engagement with ready-to-use PAL materials, affect teachers' motivation, professional competence, and implementation of PAL. A total of 153 in-service primary teachers participated in a 2.5 h PD training and were randomly assigned to one of three formats: example-based learning, experience-based learning, or problem-solving. Data were collected at pre-test, post-test, and a six-week follow-up using standardized questionnaires. Results showed that teachers in the experience-based format reported significantly higher motivation during the PD training than those in the other formats. Across all formats, attitude and self-efficacy regarding PAL increased over time, whereas no significant gains in knowledge were observed. No significant differences between PD formats regarding overall implementation of PAL were observed. Exploratory analyses indicated a potential advantage of the experience-based format. Overall, the findings suggest that immersive, experience-based PD formats may be particularly effective in fostering teachers' motivation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
