Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that may influence the intention of
pre-service teachers teaching physical education using the TGfU approach during the
practicum. This study also intends to find out if there is a relationship between the
barriers and the intention based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (Ajzen, 2005).
Furthermore, the effect of moderator variables gender and former athlete on barriers
and intention was studied. This study was carried out using an online survey which
yielded 437 respondents from all the Teacher Education Institutes in Malaysia who
fitted the criterion of the study. The findings from this study show that the pre-service
teachers do not perceive any barriers teaching TGfU during their practicum and shows
high intention to adopt TGfU in the future. The only positive relationship found was
between teacher mentor and intention, and gender played a positive moderating effect
on Teacher Mentor as well. As teacher mentor had been found to be a significant
variable in this study, focus should be given to the teacher mentor as they play an
imperative role towards the pre-service teachers during practicum. Therefore, it is
recommended that more studies be done in relation to the role of mentor teachers
during the practicum.
