Human Flourishing as the Aim of Youth Sport Coaching?
This manuscript positions human flourishing, and the cultivation of the virtuous athlete and sportsperson as the aim of youth sport coaching. First, it attends to the need for studying the history and philosophy of youth sport coaches and coaching. It then acknowledges a foundational theory of human flourishing based on neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics. Third, it juxtaposes several global and contemporary practices informing, surrounding, and influ…
Becoming and Being Professors of Physical Education
Most research concerning faculty socialization draws from a multi-institutional perspective of teacher education, with fewer studies employing single setting methodologies. This research addressed this gap by investigating how faculty members located at the same institution became professors of physical education and the ways in which their being as professors – at least in terms of their philosophies of education – have shaped or been shaped by …
Kinesiology United
This manuscript foregrounds human flourishing and the education for “good kinesiologists” as the aim of the field. I begin by reviewing the nature of the profession, calling for a new professional directive and synthesizing a framework intended to guide the field’s moral agency in the academy. Thereafter, I deconstruct some of the primary ethical dilemmas impacting the health and kinesiological sciences in the modern American university. I then p…
Philosophizing Spectrum Theory
This manuscript unpacks Mosston and Ashworth’s most fundamental discovery through the lens of ancient knowledge, that teaching is a chain of decision-making. It begins with a synthesis of Spectrum Theory and of Socratic, Platonian, and Aristotelian philosophies of moral education. I then explore four complexities that need to be addressed if this position is to thrive in schools: theoretical neutrality, pedagogical alignment, spectrum scales, and…
‘It’s About Bringing People Together’
Background Despite the field’s rich history and relationship with the concept of character education, to date, there would appear to be no in-depth empirical case studies that describe in pedagogical terms, how a physical educator can cultivate character through a school-based physical education setting.Purpose The purpose of this investigation, therefore, was to describe how one teacher deployed character education in the context of middle schoo…
For Those Who Would Normally Sit Out
The purpose of this article is to provide various approaches to increasing participation in students who are unable to participate in the psychomotor domain. These suggestions aim to be brief placeholders while students are temporarily unable to join the physical movement of physical education. Five approaches are presented to endorse participation in the cognitive and affective domains and teachers can utilize within various teaching models and …
Impact of occupational socialization on how physical education teachers employ character education in schools
Arguments relating moral and character education to the field of physical education are not novel. Despite this, there are few studies dedicated to studying how and why physical education teachers use character education in schools. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to address this literature gap by studying how seven teachers employed character education and the extent to which their upbringing, experiences in teacher education, and form…
Toward the virtuous mover
Background The philosophy of the discipline of physical education among school, further and higher education curriculums remains misunderstood, understudied and underdeveloped. With growing levels of uncertainty concerning its philosophical nature, general future (e.g. eradication, more of the same, radical change), and the role the profession plays within modern educational institutions, there is an urgent need to acknowledge, problematize, inte…
Flourishing through The Spectrum
The concept of models-based practice has arguably provided the field of sport pedagogy with the means, lens, and tools with which to start to transform the discipline into a more desirable, equitable, and purposeful space. Despite this, there remains a need to experiment with this concept further in non-traditional ways and to continue to construct new pedagogical models meant to serve youth in ever-changing pluralist societies. The purpose of th…
Cultivating character through physical education using memetic, progressive and transformative practices in schools
This paper articulates how the teaching of movement, physical activity and sport, through formal education and schooling, and the medium of physical education, affords opportunities for twenty-first-century character education. We begin by outlining our theoretical framework for character education and identify how character-traits developed through teaching morally and morality, can be pigeonholed into one of four categories, including performan…
We’re trying to produce serious educators’
The purpose of this study was to describe the impact of secondary organizational socialization on mid-career faculty members’ (FMs) delivery of physical education teacher education (PETE). Data were collected with four qualitative techniques and analyzed using analytic induction and constant comparison. FMs delivered PETE based on the behavioristic, traditional/craft, and critical-inquiry orientations to teacher education. Cultural components and…

Research on sport pedagogy doctoral students’ (DSs’) occupational socialization should improve understanding of their beliefs and espoused practices regarding physical education teacher education (PETE), how these beliefs and espoused practices were shaped, and facilitate improvements in graduate education. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to describe the influence of occupational socialization on the PETE programs sport pedagogy DSs int…
