Abstract

This study investigates teachers' concerns during career development that are not present in Fuller and Bown's (1975) construct of concerns. Twenty Physical Education teachers at different stages of their careers participated in the research. Semi-structured interviews and content analysis were used to collect and analyze data. Two dimensions of emerging concerns were evidenced: public policies and social issues. Two emerging indicators for the Self dimension were found: teacher education and health. The emerging concerns of Physical Education teachers permeate the existing situations between school and the social context, affecting school routine.
