Research on Teaching Health and Physical Education

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Research on Teachers and Teaching

Part of the book series: Springer International Handbooks of Education ((SIHE,volume 21))

Research in health and physical education (HPE) is neither new nor unidimensional. Rather, researchers engaging in HPE research have produced numerous studies evolving in complexity and clarity over a relatively short 35 years of concerted and focused research. Indeed, comprehensive reviews of early research were possible because of few research lines and a short research history (e.g., Nixon & Locke, 1973). Today, however research in health and physical education is a broad and multi-faceted endeavor.

Due to the complex nature of HPE research, this chapter was written with the more narrow focus of research on teaching health and physical education (RT-HPE). This focus involves “research on what teachers and students do and how this affects and relates to learning and social dynamics of the class” (Silverman, 1991, p. 352). This does not include research on teacher education, research on curriculum or behavioral theory, or research on curricular interventions. A review combining two or more of these areas is beyond the scope of this chapter and can be found elsewhere.
