State of the States Policy Report
This State of the States Policy Report represents the most current and comprehensive review of codified U.S. state–level policies related to school physical education (PE) and physical activity (PA). Covering all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the report details legal mandates across 14 categories including physical education instructional time and class size, curriculum/assessment requirements, tea…
Pre-service teachers content-related analyses of a physical education learning task
Introduction: There remains some consensus that pre-service teacher education should be centered on the development of teachers’ content knowledge, as it is considered to be essential for quality teaching and learning. The development of more effective forms of pedagogical content knowledge requires pre-service physical education teachers to analyse teaching and learning tasks within contextualized situations. The Joint Action in Didactics (JAD) …
Here’s an Idea to Improve Sport Education
Sport education (SE) is an instructional model that attempts to provide students with more authentic sport experiences. A key student-centered structural feature of SE is the assigning of student role responsibilities that go beyond that of a player. Students have been shown to enjoy these team roles but may initially feel overwhelmed with the demands of these newly appointed responsibilities, which may potentially jeopardize their role performan…
Operationalizing physical literacy through sport education in a university physical education program
Background Sport Education (SE: Siedentop, D., P. A. Hastie, and H. Van der Mars. 2019. Complete Guide to Sport Education. 3rd ed. Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics) is a pedagogical model that has been espoused to develop physically literate students through more authentic sports experiences in physical education (Hastie, P. A., and T. Wallhead. 2015. “Operationalizing Physical Literacy Through Sport Education.” Journal of Sport and Health Science 4…
The relationship between occupational socialization factors and in-service physical educators’ reported use of sport education
Extensive empirical evidence exists for how Sport Education (SE: Siedentop et al., 2020) can deliver valued student educational outcomes, yet there remains a dearth of knowledge of how in-service teachers implement the model in practice. The purpose of this study was to examine how the stages of occupational socialization predicted teachers’ reported implementation of the structural features of SE. An SE use and occupational socialization survey …
Academics’ perspectives on the future of sport education
Background: Sport Education (SE: Siedentop, D. 1994. Sport Education: Quality PE through Positive Sport Experiences. Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics) remains the most researched of all the pedagogical models and thus has the strongest body of evidence that it has the potential to deliver on psychomotor, cognitive and affective student learning outcomes. Despite this evidence, there has been less discussion within the academic community regarding th…
Effect of sport education on students’ perceived physical literacy, motivation, and physical activity levels in university required physical education
Physical education teachers’ perceptions of the successes, constraints, and possibilities associated with implementing the sport education model
Background: There have been calls for research that provides a description of how physical education teachers persist in integrating student-centred pedagogical models, such as Sport Education (SE), in their professional practice [Hastie, P. A., and T. Wallhead. 2016. ‘Models-Based Practice in Physical Education: The Case for Sport Education.’ Journal of Teaching in Physical Education 35 (4): 390-399]. Specifically, more information is required o…
Student learning through interaction in physical education
A didactic analysis of content development during Cooperative Learning in primary physical education
The purpose of this study was to use the Joint Action Studies in Didactics (JASD) to understand how teachers’ and students’ interactions co-construct knowledge during Cooperative Learning (CL). The basis of CL is that students learn with and from each other through a structured interdependent relationship. A case study approach was used to examine how a group of three year-5 students and their teacher from an ethnically diverse primary school in …
Effects of spectrum teaching styles on college students’ psychological needs satisfaction and self-determined motivation
The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of two landmark spectrum styles, practice and inclusion, on students’ basic psychological needs satisfaction and self-determined motivation. Twelve classes of college-aged students ( n = 149) participated in two badminton lessons taught under the conditions of the practice and inclusion styles. The basic psychological needs for physical education scale (BPN-PE) and situational intrinsic motivati…
Student learning through interaction in physical education
Perceived and actual motivational climate of a mastery-involving sport education season
The purpose of the study was to implement a Sport Education season designed to be mastery-involving and examine the degree of congruence between the objective measure of the presented climate with the students’ perceptions of the saliency of this motivational climate. Twenty-one male high school students (mean age of 15.9 years) and one expert teacher participated in 12 lessons, each of 90 minutes’ duration, of team handball taught using Sport Ed…
Behaviors of students and teachers in the command, practice, and inclusion styles of teaching
Validating selected theoretical assumptions associated with the Spectrum of Teaching Styles is critical to the pursuit of knowledge about effective instructional strategies. To assess these styles, a total of 77 college-aged students at one university enrolled in four physical activity classes and participated in three 50-minute lessons with different teaching styles. One lesson was delivered in the command teaching style, one in the practice tea…
Influence of high school physical education on university students’ physical activity
The purpose of this study was to use the Lifelong Physical Activity (LLPA) framework to examine the influence of high school physical education (PE) on university students’ level of physical activity (PA). Participants included 365 undergraduate students from the Rocky Mountain West of the USA enrolled in a university physical activity course. Data collection was comprised of a questionnaire and six gender-segregated follow-up focus group intervi…
Sport Education
The purpose of this review was to establish what is currently known about the effect of the Sport Education (SE) curriculum model (Siedentop, 1994a Siedentop, D. 1994a. Sport education: quality P. E. through positive sport experiences, Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics. [Google Scholar]) on various indices of student learning in physical education. A total of 62 peer-reviewed journal articles pertaining to the SE model were collected and separated in…
