In this paper I explore my burgeoning interest in the work of Bruno Latour in an effort to conceptualize movement skill learning as a complex process involving multiple circulating entities. Drawing from Latour's (2007) actor-network theory (ANT), my aim is to illustrate how an ANT take on movement skill learning could impact kinesiology as a…

The connection between the name "Daryl Siedentop" and the model "Sport Education" has evolved over the past three decades to become a prominent brand of physical education. This paper attempts to capture the influence of Sport Education, not only within school physical education, but in ways and arenas far beyond Daryl's…

This paper is a memoir of/for Daryl. A "memoir" is an historical account or biography written from personal knowledge. It provides my personal account of Daryl, the man, the physical educator, the intellectual, the teacher, and the scholar. In this account I trace Daryl's work from when I first met him in 1981 and the major conceptual…

In this article a cadre of Daryl's former doctoral students and/or close colleagues from The Ohio State University offer their personal descriptions/interpretations of Daryl's vision for physical education, physical education teacher education (PETE) and doctoral programming (D-PETE). Daryl mentored over 80 doctoral students at Ohio State, many of…

The author discusses the potential impacts of international collaboration on learning, teaching, scholarship, and overall career. As a by-product and beneficiary of international collaborations, she recounted her journey, starting from playing sports in a village in Kenya to being a physical education teacher in Kenya and a kinesiology professor…

This paper, based upon the Dudley Allen Sargent lecture delivered at the 2023 NAKHE conference, provides a discussion on the importance of physical education in higher education from a non-American perspective. It explores the past and present place of physical education and its scholars in the realm of higher education, while sharing examples and…

The 3rd annual Praxis Lecture exemplifies the National Association for Kinesiology in Higher Education's (NAKHE's) ongoing commitment to the principles and practices of social justice, diversity, and inclusive excellence as pillars of leadership development. This year's lecture focused on perspectives, insights, and recommendations for NAKHE as…

Despite wide use in adapted physical activity (APA) courses, disability simulations are heavily critiqued for not being culturally responsive and for perpetuating negative stigmas. The present study explored the extent to which critiques have been addressed. Specifically, we aimed to appraise the design of disability simulations. A convenience…

The purpose of this study was (a) to examine gender and age differences in college students' perceived competence, enjoyment, persistence, and leisure time moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and (b) to utilize a structural equation modeling (SEM) to assess the direct and indirect effects of enjoyment and perceived competence on MVPA…

Confronting the distinctive challenges of international East Asian students is vital for the increasingly diverse United States higher education system. This study examines the experiences of six participants of East Asian descent during kinesiology doctoral programs at U.S. higher education institutions. The research design is qualitative inquiry…

This study aimed to examine the common content knowledge (CCK) of tennis and volleyball among U.S. physical education PSTs at the time they entered their PETE program. A secondary purpose was to investigate the relationship between PSTs' CCK levels of volleyball and tennis when entering a PETE program. A total of 116 PSTs from seven universities…

This article presents a theoretical approach and an analytical toolbox for researchers on reflections in PE and PETE. Its purpose is to provide an approach to analyzing how reflections are composed. Previous research mainly asks how teachers and student teachers (STs) reflect and use different theoretical concepts to describe the way in which they…

In March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted life around the world, and the (traditional) educational system came to a screeching halt. Educational systems, including physical education teacher education, moved to remote and online teaching modalities almost overnight. This shift, coupled with the cancellation of academic conferences, resulted…

The development of a teacher educator requires a sustained, systematic, and critical inquiry into one's own practice. The purpose of this study was to explore how two doctoral students, in their first semester of doctoral study, understood how to do physical education teacher education in an introductory teaching method class, through the lens of…

The purpose of this article is to explore how social forces related to the corporatization of universities play out at the granular level of institutional mission and vision statements in the racialized context of Canadian Kinesiology. The stated aims of Canadian Kinesiology academic units (N = 36) were collected from their public-facing websites,…
