This study was situated within a longitudinal study of 5 teachers examining the realities of teaching physical education by determining the impact of individual dispositions and contextual factors on the career trajectories of postprimary physical education teachers in Ireland (Iannucci & MacPhail, 2017). One of these participants, Jane, was examined in this study to gain a greater understanding of the realities and tensions experienced by a postprimary teacher enacting 2 distinct sets of role expectations when teaching physical education and another school subject concurrently.
Data reported in this article were collected through a semistructured interview and living graph. An interpretative framework was used for analysis, assessing Jane's perceived meanings of the identified critical incidents in relation to role theory.
Teachers timetabled with physical education and another subject concurrently may be expected to navigate and negotiate 2 distinctly different roles within the school community causing difficulty in assuming both roles simultaneously. Short narratives were used to convey 2 themes: (a) role prioritization and (b) role performance.
The study results suggest that the already complex and multifaceted role of a school teacher (Richards, Templin, Levesque-Bristol, & Blankenship, 2014) seems to be further complicated when teachers are tasked with simultaneously teaching physical education and another school subject. With the presence of a role conflict management strategy such as role prioritization (Stryker, 1968), one can presume that teachers who are tasked with teaching physical education and another school subject may experience some level of role conflict.
本研究是一项针对5名教师的纵向研究的一部分，该研究通过确定个人特质和背景因素对爱尔兰小学后体育教师职业轨迹的影响，来考察体育教学的实际情况（伊安努奇和麦克菲尔，2017）。本研究对其中一位参与者简进行了考察，以更深入地了解一名小学后教师在同时教授体育和另一门学科时，在践行两套不同的角色期望时所经历的现实情况和紧张关系。
本文所报告的数据通过半结构化访谈和生活图谱收集。采用解释性框架进行分析，评估简对与角色理论相关的已识别关键事件的感知意义。
同时安排体育和另一门学科教学时间的教师可能需要在学校社区中应对和协调两种截然不同的角色，这使得他们难以同时承担这两种角色。简短的叙述用于传达两个主题：（a）角色优先级和（b）角色表现。
研究结果表明，当教师同时承担体育和另一门学科的教学任务时，学校教师本已复杂多面的角色（理查兹、坦普林、莱韦斯克 - 布里斯托尔和布兰肯希普，2014）似乎会变得更加复杂。由于存在角色优先级等角色冲突管理策略（斯特赖克，1968），可以推测，承担体育和另一门学科教学任务的教师可能会经历一定程度的角色冲突。
