It's already set in my mind’
The occupational socialisation of physical education (PE) teachers has received limited scholarly attention in the UK, and even less is known about the influence of acculturation on their ideological preconceptions of PE teaching.

In the first section of this paper I consider, particularly in relation to education, what the critical movement is and where it came from, concluding with a few remarks on the relation of that movement to the critique of the Enlightenment at lar…
