Key methodological aspects for the training of future Physical Education teachers

The present article aims at offering a consensual and shared vision from the Area of Physical Education and Sports at Rey Juan Carlos University about what the essential elements of the approach to the training process of future Physical Education teachers should be. Among others, we explain the key factors on the importance of motor skills, the role of students in theoretical and practical classes, which must be active and reflective at all times, teacher-student communication, work in groups as a tool for social interaction and co-learning, individual tasks from a critical perspective, as well as the most relevant aspects of the process of planning Physical Education contents, such as sequencing, global approach to content, and the use of new technologies. Finally, the consensus of teachers from this area on objectives, contents, and subject evaluation procedures is described, taking the subject of Physical Education Didactics from the Degree of Primary Education with Mention in Physical Education as a reference.
