Abstract

This protocol outlines a systematic review aimed at identifying the barriers, tensions, and challenges faced by pre-service physical education teachers when integrating a gender perspective during their initial teacher education and preparation for practicum experiences. The review follows the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and focuses on empirical studies examining gender-related experiences, beliefs, institutional barriers, curricular tensions, and pedagogical challenges within Physical Education Teacher Education (PETE) contexts. Electronic searches will be conducted in Web of Science, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and ProQuest. Findings are expected to contribute to curriculum development and the promotion of more inclusive, critical, and gender-equitable teacher education programmes.
