education and sport pedagogy, but a specific focus on PDL via social media is also important. Social media can help educators access emotional support, feel less isolated and marginalized, and develop the necessary competence and capabilities required for effective teaching, especially when unexpected
Bringing the Teaching Act Back into Sport Pedagogy
Michael W. Metzler
This thematic article is based upon personal reflections and tangible evidence that the emphasis in sport pedagogy has shifted away from doing research on instruction and toward doing research on teachers. Several contributing factors to this trend are discussed along with implications for continued change in the patterns of sport pedagogy. Suggestions are made that could alter these patterns and address how to conduct research on teaching that is both meaningful to practice and valued in the academy. Finally, there is a call to question the role of traditional sport disciplines and subdisciplines in the conduct of professional practice and the conceptualization of sport pedagogy.
A Review of Research on Time in Sport Pedagogy
Michael Metzler
This article provides a representative review of the current literature on time-related research in sport pedagogy. The reviewed studies are presented and discussed in four general areas: how time has been conceptualized, how time has been measured, what is known about how time is spent in physical education and sport settings, and what is still left to be known about time-related events. The final section suggests a six-item agenda for expanding and continuing research on time in sport pedagogy.
Sport Pedagogy Research: From Information-Gathering to Useful Knowledge
Hal A. Lawson
Sport pedagogy research is yielding an increasing amount of information. However, there is a difference between mere information and research based knowledge, which may guide and improve practice. If more useful knowledge is to result from research, then several related adjustments in sport pedagogy’s knowledge system are required. Such adjustments begin with researchers’ reasons for doing research and include adjustments in today’s approaches to organizing, communicating, and applying research findings. Additionally, increases in the production and use of knowledge may be facilitated by political activity that is aimed at gaining more consensus among physical education professionals and, in turn, more uniformity among programs and teaching practices.
