Abstract
Recent initiatives by the Ministry of Education have afforded new opportunities and challenges to physical education teacher education in Singapore. Physical education teacher education programs are offered by the National Institute of Education’s Physical Education & Sports Science Academic Group, and the Academic Group has to continuously improve the programs to meet the new opportunities and challenges. To describe the improvements made to the physical education teacher education programs, program documents for the academic year of 2018-2019 were analyzed using document analysis [1]. Results from this study indicates that the improvements made to the physical education teacher education programs will enable pre-service teachers to deliver the greater emphasis in fundamental movement skills and sports skills, apply the pedagogical practices in their teaching and learning process, and teach in both primary and secondary levels.
