Abstract

A project in the process of creation in the Faculty of Physical and Sports Education in the University of SherbrookeSalto de línea Salto de línea The new focus areas for the training in physical education published by Quebec Ministry of Education (2001) ratify the increase in the significance of the supervision of probationary teachers in the development of teaching competencies. Given the existing 700 hours spread over four years, it is indispensable to take measures that guarantee the quality of the supervision of probationary teachers in schools. In autumn 2002, a programme in introduction to professional supervision was put in operation in the Faculty of Physical Education in the University of Sherbrooke (Quebec, Canada). This article aims to describe the above-mentioned programme as well as portray the theory principles behind it. Based on the developing focus (Martínez, 1995; Vygotsky, 1978), it intends to enable non-permanent members of teaching staff to adopt different postures when supervising probationary teachers so that their understanding of participation becomes gradually more complex. In the case of Physical and Health Education, due to the consecutive change from the command of four competencies and thirteen core skills to the building of a reflection knowledge and a performance knowledge, non-permanent members of teaching staff will be able to act in response to a greater variety of situations.
