Playing with Research in Health and Physical Education

This is the audio from the 2022 AERA (American Educational Research Association) SIG 93 Catherine D. Ennis Outstanding Scholar Lecture. 

The description of the award is below, as well as the link to see the video from the lecture. The audio from the introduction by Dr. Richard Tinning is poor, and it starts a bit abruptly. This was a virtual component of an in-person conference, so there are some audio issues, however, I still felt like it would be important to provide access to the audio here.

Catherine D. Ennis Outstanding Scholar. This award is designed to recognize an outstanding scholar in the field of learning and instruction in physical education. This person’s scholarship has made a significant and consistent impact on the field for at least ten years. This award was re-named for Dr. Catherine D. Ennis in 2018. Dr. Ennis was a longtime member and contributor to SIG 93, and one of the most highly respected scholars in the field of physical education. Dr. Ennis passed away in 2017, and the SIG membership wishes to honor her legacy posthumously.

Friday August 25th 2022 – #AIESEPConnect #CoffeeWithColleagues: The Spectrum of Teaching Styles: A view to the future of research with Mark Byra, Feng-Min Wei, Donetta Cothran, Pamela Kulinna, Nikolaos Digelidis

This is the audio from the PETE Collaborative on Thursday Sept 8th, 2022. 

Topic: How are teacher training programs being re-designed to meet the needs of K-12 learners and pre-service teachers: or are we teaching a 20-yr old syllabus?

Description: This PETE Collaborative session will discuss potential re-designs of PETE courses to meet the needs of both K-12 students as well as pre-service teachers. Topics of re-design will include Meaningful Physical Education, embedding informal games and sports, as well as outdoor education

The PETE collaborative is held the second Thursday of each month and is a gathering of PETE professionals (grad students and faculty) who discuss issues in PETE. 

Mark Zmudy joins me to discuss the article Seismic Shift and 21st Century PE: Survival of a Professional Field in Academics. We discuss 21stCentury PE-an approach that shifted its focus for activity offerings and connected to a range of academic and cultural interests. We also talk about implications and pedagogical suggestions for PETE programs and formal school PE teachers to fulfilling the potential of PE and survive as an academic subject in future practices.

Dr. Justin Haegele (Twitter: @Justin_Haegele) joins Dr. Kevin Richards for an episode of Going Behind the Research. This talk focuses on the article below:

Haegele, J. A., Ball, L. E., Zhu, X., Keene, M. A., & Nowland, L. A. (2022). Absent, Incapable, and “Normal”: Understanding the Inclusiveness of Visually Impaired Students’ Experiences in Integrated Physical Education. Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly, 1(aop), 1-22.

Rather than providing a forum to discuss research that is conducted in health and physical education, the Going Behind the Research segment focuses on telling the stories that surround research we read in scholarly journals. Globally, the segment aims to humanize research by providing a forum to discuss the movies that draw researchers toward particular topics and studies, challenges and successes experienced along the way, and lessons learned that transcend individual journal publications (e.g., lessons learn that impact future research decisions). Each episode will feature an interview with one or member members of an authorship team. Including a brief overview of the study, the common interview guide (linked below) will be used to facilitate each individual conversation. The conversations will, however, be unique in that follow-up questions will address topics raised by each interviewee.
