Methods/Analysis• Identified past research in teaching
• Analyzed current research--two illustrative studies in teaching and three in P.E.
• Identified 5 stages for future research
Analysis Methods• Analyze audio tapes of History Teachers-Teachers more
active—Roles in place Teacher and Student Cycles of teaching (21 identified) Most common teacher question student respond
• Categories of questioning range from simple to complex---range of cognitive processes
• Physical Education specific—Movement Education—Verbal behavior and student response---Teacher behavior and social and emotional climate---Augmented feedback provided by teachers
Findings/Main arguments• “Provide the tools of inquiry as well as the
data needed to intelligently monitor and guide the process of change.”
Conclusions/implications for practice and/or future research
• Need for sequential research effort
• Outline for “crucial stages:”1. Development of systems specific for PE2. Test with large sample size3. Examine new teaching methods with systems4. Use tools to conduct studies to measure teaching and learning5. Enrich Teacher Education Programs
• Better understand research and the job of teaching!
