Physical Educators' Lived Experience in Continuing Professional Development in Hong Kong's Higher EducationIn the past decade, a number of universities in Hong Kong have altered their curricula to make PE-oriented courses more health-oriented in nature. Understandably, such shift in focus would generate new and different professional development needs for PE practitioners. However, professional learning and growth of the university practitioners themselves has not been thoroughly explored and examined in academic research in Hong Kong. The purpose of the study was to generate a picture of how higher education (HE) physical educators make sense of their participation in continuing professional development (CPD) activities.The research design was qualitative and adopted interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) as its methodological framework. Data were collected from seven physical educators working in three universities through in-depth interviews facilitated by personal CPD artifacts, and CPD-related documents. Analysis of data was done reflexively following principles and protocols of IPA (Smith, Flowers, & Larkins, 2009) and a constructivist-interpretative perspective. Voices of the physical educators were captured, reflecting their sense-making and the researcher's interpretations from an insider perspective.It was found that CPD was mostly an individual endeavor with little peers' collaboration, and minimal guidance and support from work supervisors and institutional structures. The participants' were motivated extrinsically to attain higher academic credentials but the ensuing study journeys were not necessarily conducive to positive professional growth. On the other hand, the PE practitioners managed to satisfy their need for growth through self-directed explorations and learning from trusted individual colleagues and experts. At times, the participants' realization of learning manifested as combinations of formally organized CPD and informal learning activities. Intrinsic motives resulting from a desire to master advanced sports skills, promote personal growth, and advance professional competence helped to sustain the participants' CPD engagement. Finally, tending to the physical conditions of the body surfaced as a critical factor in prolonging and enhancing a physical educator's professional life.This study concludes by calling for dissemination of CPD insights and collaborative CPD endeavors among physical educators, and guidance and support for professional learning from work leaders and HE administration. Self-evaluation of teaching practices is recommended as a form of action research to take advantage of the independent characteristic of HE physical educators.
