Frenemies, Wannabies and Jocks
Skennenko
Indigenous communities in Canada have long endured unethical research practices that have historically hindered rather than helped their communities. These non-reciprocal approaches stem from research being conducted on rather than with Indigenous populations, leading to the marginalization of Indigenous voices and perspectives. In an attempt to reconcile and move forward in a good way, there has been a shift to better understand and engage in et…
Physical Health Education preservice teachers’ experiences with autobiographical narrative inquiry and transformative pedagogies
Background Issues of social justice require the understanding and intervention of teachers across all subject areas. Teachers must be positioned to uphold fairness for all individuals in their classes while considering the disparities of wealth, opportunities, and social privileges that may impact the student experience. This paper explores the challenges and benefits of choosing transformative teaching methods when preparing preservice teachers …
Nothing Is Gonna Change If We Don't Care for Everyone”
In the fall of 2013, the authors received funding to help develop and implement an afterschool wellness program alongside Indigenous youth aged 6–10 years old in the North Central neighborhood of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The Growing Young Movers (GYM) afterschool program was funded, in part, as a corrective response to a broader social trend in which Indigenous youth in this neighborhood reported declining health and wellness outcomes, as we…
Vital signs or flatline? Canadian physical and health education research publication activity
To inform a response to recent critiques of physical and health education (PHE) research activity within Canadian universities, this research inquired into peer-reviewed PHE publications by Canadian-based authors between 2010 and 2015 via an analysis of published research method framed within a ‘health’ metaphor. Results were interpreted through the lens of common criteria within Canadian tenure, promotion, and performance reviews for ‘healthy’ r…
Ethical Considerations When Negotiating Entry in Community-Based Research
This manuscript focuses on our experiences of negotiating entry into two distinct research projects. The relational ethics of narrative inquiry acts as our conceptual underpinning as we inquire into the tensions we experienced as we negotiated who we were, and who we were becoming, in relation with the people we were living alongside. By reflecting on our storied experiences of negotiating entry our aim is to provide aspects that researchers can …
In(di)visable
The goal of physical education (PE) is to increase student confidence, competence, and motivation to lead physically active lifestyles. Research has shown that physical education teacher education (PETE) students tend to be sexist, elitist and unsympathetic towards social issues. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to (1) better understand how PETE students might be engaged to take on a critical agenda that would increase their willingness t…
Engaging with academic and institutional changes
Acknowledging differences in contexts, the purpose of this paper considers how physical education and sport pedagogy (PESP), while maintaining our collective identity, can most effectively develop a capacity to engage with academic and institutional changes in productive, proactive ways. This, we contend, entails considering extending the groups or communities in which PESP is represented to increase the potential to access substructures with oth…
Telling and selling
In recent times, not-for-profit organisations have been partnering with for-profit corporations to create educational resources. This has been especially true in physical and health education, particularly within Canada. For example, Physical and Health Education Canada has recently endorsed a number of corporate-sponsored educational resources related to health and wellness. Given this observation, we have recognised a need to theorise about how…
Early career teacher attrition
Early career teacher attrition has most often been conceptualized as either a problem associated with individual factors (e.g. burnout) or a problem associated with contextual factors (e.g. support and salary). This study considered early career teacher attrition as an identity making process that involves a complex negotiation between individual and contextual factors. Forty second- and third-year teachers in rural, urban, and suburban boards ac…
A narrative inquiry into the experience of negotiating the dominant stories of physical education
This paper explores the tensions that surfaced as a teacher of physical education (PE) shifted his ‘stories to live by’ [Clandinin, D. J., & Connelly, F. M. (1999). Storying and restorying ourselves: Narrative and reflection. In A. Y. Chen & J. Van Maanen (Eds.), The reflective spin: Case studies of teachers in higher education transforming action (pp. 15–23). Singapore: World Scientific] around PE. The tensions became explicit when his shifting …
Narrative Conceptions of Knowledge
The book volume shares six narrative accounts, which offer glimpses into the teachers' lives, which are composed with attention to place, temporality, and personal and social dimensions. By inquiring narratively into the experiences of these teachers, the book identifies the complex ways in which the teachers' personal practical knowledge is shaped by their personal knowledge landscapes as well as professional knowledge landscapes. Questions are …
Questioning the Research on Early Career Teacher Attrition and Retention
In this paper, we consider scholarly work on early career teacher attrition, and retention, from 1999 to 2010. Much of the literature has framed attrition as either a problem associated with individual factors (e.g., burnout), or a problem associated with contextual factors (e.g., support and salary). Some recent conceptualizations consider early career teacher attrition as an identity- making process that involves a complex negotiation between i…
