The Orthodoxy in RT-PE and the Research Practice Gap: A Critique and an Alternative View.
Kirk, David
Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, v8 n2 p123-30 Jan 1989
Currently, the dominant approach in research on teaching in physical education (the objectivist, scientific approach) has failed to provide a solution to how its findings, which are embodied in theories, can bring about change in the curriculum. This approach is critiqued with reference to issues of strategy, power, and politicization. (IAH)
