The tools used were semi-structured interview roadmap; systematic observation; memory stimulation procedures. The content analysis technique was used and the classes of analysis were determined a priori. It was found that the subjects investigated believe that the basic motive content or skills of sport should be emphasised in the sportive initiation process. Experience of personal practice and observation were sources for the structuring of their lessons. Subjects have a pedagogical knowledge of sports teaching, obtained from a modelling process.
