摘要

Flashmob in teacher education - students' experiences of creating dance together This article is about physical education teacher students and how they experienced participating in astudent-led flashmob dance project. The research examines connections between the flashmob projectand the teacher students’ profession-personal competence, and the research material consists ofstudents’ texts in which they have written about their flashmob experiences. The flashmob projectwas part of the program at two different teacher education institutions in Oslo: Oslo MetropolitanUniversity and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences. The research approach is hermeneuticphenomenological, and through thematic analysis the following four themes were identified:“feelings”, “to create dance”, “getting to know each other better and cooperate”, and “teacherperspective”. Through a profession-based discussion the article further shows how the flashmobproject is highly relevant in a teacher education perspective as the students’ experiencescan be understood as closely connected with profession-personal principles as well as with selfdetermination,codetermination and solidarity. In addition, the flashmob dance project serves toprovide physical education teacher students with bodily anchored authority.
