This is a new "style" of episode that Dr. Kevin Richards from Univ of Illinois is hosting where he dives behind the research. This weeks guest is Dr. Michael Hemphill from UNC-Greensboro. Kevin and Michael discuss the article below:\
Hemphill, M. A., Janke, E. M., Flores, S., & Gordon, B. (2021). Conflict and harm in the context of restorative school physical education. Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 41(1), 88-98.
Here is the abstract of the article:
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the issues of conflict and harm in physical education within a school
recognized for its exemplary restorative practices. Method: A single case study approach was employed to examine one
restorative school in Wellington, New Zealand. The school was purposely selected to participate in this study based on its
recognition for exemplary restorative practices. Participants included physical educators (n = 11), administrators (n = 4), and
students (n = 25). Data sources included interviews, observations, and reflection documents. Data were analyzed using a
collaborative qualitative approach. Results: Three qualitative themes described the context of restorative school physical
education, types of harm that occurred, and how physical educators were positioned as central figures in creating a context where
harm was addressed. Discussion: This study provides insights into restorative practices and has implications for teaching social
and emotional learning skills.
