However, there is a substantial gap in understanding PE Teacher Education\u2019s (PETE) effectiveness in preparing Preservice Teachers (PSTs) to implement equity-driven pedagogies. Moreover, focused on individual retrospective gameplay engagement rates (participation time), current research fails to provide a holistic perspective of the practical manifestations of equity and inclusion in PE. This study fills this void with novel insights offered by a mixed-methods case study examining the following: (i) the process-oriented teaching strategies employed by a PST trained to deliver inclusive pedagogies, alongside student voices on lived experiences; and (ii) the outcome-oriented gameplay patterns across two teaching units (Basketball and Volleyball). Participants included one PST and 26 students. Extensive observations and focus groups mapped the applied teaching strategies and student responses. Video-based social network analysis captured equity and inclusion in students\u2019 gameplay patterns, using metrics such as degree prestige. Findings indicate the PETE impact in inducing PSTs\u2019 inclusive manipulation of learning activities and the fostering of inclusive team membership and positive collaboration. SNA metrics evidenced equitable and inclusive gameplay patterns. Despite pedagogical efforts, content-specific factors may influence students\u2019 gameplay inclusion. Hence, a reflection on the multifaceted and non-linear nature of promoting inclusive participation is prompted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/educsci14070776","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,17]],"date-time":"2024-07-17T16:35:58Z","timestamp":1721234158000},"page":"776","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["\u2018No One Is Left Behind?\u2019: A Mixed-Methods Case Study of Equity and Inclusion in Physical Education Teacher Education"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7319-3059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eug\u00e9nio Paiva","family":"Pereira Ribeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sports, University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Isabel Maria","family":"Ribeiro Mesquita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Training, Innovation, and Intervention in Sports (CIFI2D), University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1364-0539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cl\u00e1udio Filipe","family":"Guerreiro Farias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre for Training, Innovation, and Intervention in Sports (CIFI2D), University of Porto, 4200-450 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Hayes, S., and Stidder, G.
