Biography

I work as a university teacher in sport pedagogy at the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences. My teaching and expertise areas include, for instance, observation of physical activity and didactics in various learning environments. Alongside my teaching I am also writing a doctoral thesis on pre-service teachers' competence to teach physical education during primary and subject teacher education programs. 

Research interests

My research is focused mainly on physical education teacher education and competence of students studying to become physical education teachers or generalist teachers. I am especially interested in the teaching efficacy of primary school teacher students and overall physical education in primary school.
