Abstract

The general purpose o f this work is to identify the motivations and barriers that the participants of (Re)Produce, a virtual practice community of Physical Education teachers, point ed out to initiate their participation and to maintain it over time.

Data refer to a great diversity o f motivations for participation; among them , the possibility of transferring knowledge to the classroom , in the case of Physical Education teachers ; or, for those participants in initial training, the enrichment derived from the contact with the experiences and knowledge s of the experienced teachers. The most frequent barriers are the short age of time to dedicate to (Re)Produce, the complexity and density of the texts produced in the platform and the fear and the feeling of inferiority in the case of the participants in initial formation or in the first years of teaching experienc
