Abstract
This study examines the perspectives and practices of elementary international school specialist physical education (PE) teachers. It explores how educators navigate the complexities of implementing a concept-based curriculum, by adopting a collaborative process between researchers and participants. The research utilises action research and self-study methodologies to learn more about the opportunities and challenges of teaching a concept-based PE curriculum. Action research addresses real-world challenges by fostering collaboration and developing practical solutions. At the same time, self-study emphasises the researcher’s reflective practice, deepening personal understanding and contributing valuable insights to the educational community. Together, these methodologies create a framework that bridges theory and practice, unpacking the benefits and barriers of implementing a concept-based PE curriculum and identifying pathways for meaningful change.
