Online CPD & Positive Youth Development

The purpose of this research was to design, implement, and evaluate a continuing professional development (CPD) program for physical education teachers to facilitate positive youth development (PYD) in physical education and school sport by establishing a collaborative and sustainable research network between Korea and UK.

The research also aimed to improve the quality of physical education and school sport by providing a systematic, content-focused, and innovative CPD program with secondary PE teachers. Furthermore, the research aimed to stimulate future academic research and discussions on the needs of global levels of collaboration for physical education teachers’ professional development by sharing the evidence of effective cross-cultural CPD.

The three-year research project included design, implementation, and evaluation of a PYD-oriented CPD.
