This McCloy Lecture sheds light on the "hidden profession" of Physical Education Teacher Educators (PETEs) by sharing my perspectives on the challenges and opportunities faced by PETE scholars and teachers globally. I begin with an overview of my biography and how it has influenced my thinking about PETE. I present some scholarly critiques of PETE, a selection of PETE research findings and address key policy issues within teacher education across several national educational systems describing how Physical Education teacher educators manage (or not) the challenges and opportunities in the practice of teacher education in modern-day universities. I draw on data from my international study of experienced Physical Education teacher educators about the nature of their work in academe and the status of physical education teacher education locally, nationally and globally. I also draw on the perspectives of Irish teacher educators about the challenges of being active producers and users of research in a challenging national policy context. I conclude with a set of observations about how best to build capacity among Physical Education teacher educators so they can thrive as research active and innovative teachers in the modern university.
本次麦克洛伊讲座通过分享我对全球体育教育教师教育者（PETE）学者和教师所面临的挑战和机遇的看法，揭示了“隐形专业”——体育教育教师教育者的情况。我首先概述了我的个人经历，以及它如何影响我对 PETE 的思考。我提出了对 PETE 的一些学术批评意见，介绍了一些 PETE 研究结果，并探讨了几个国家教育系统内的教师教育关键政策问题，描述了体育教育教师教育者如何（或未能）应对现代大学教师教育实践中的挑战和机遇。我借鉴了我对有经验的体育教育教师教育者的国际研究数据，这些数据涉及他们在学术界工作的性质以及当地、国家和全球范围内体育教育教师教育的地位。我还借鉴了爱尔兰教师教育者的观点，了解他们在充满挑战的国家政策背景下作为研究的积极参与者和使用者所面临的挑战。最后，我提出了一系列关于如何最好地增强体育教育教师教育者能力的观察意见，以便他们能够在现代大学中成为充满活力的、积极开展研究和创新的教师。
