“…Motor learning researchers were particularly eager to make recommendations for physical education teachers based on their carefully controlled laboratory studies. Harmon and Oxendine (1961), for example, studied the effects of different lengths of practice on learning a motor skill. Scholars in this tradition viewed teaching as facilitating the acquisition of motor skills, and research results did little to inform the teaching-learning process.…”

This paper examines the growth in research on teaching, curriculum, and teacher education in Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, describing how this body of work has evolved over the past 75 years. The research stream progressed from "expert" discourses about what physical education should be to scientific approaches that have generated a body of knowledge based on evidence rather than beliefs. Investigations focused on the teaching and learning process have evolved to provide research-based benchmarks for designing teacher education programs and evaluating instruction as well as informing effective teaching practice. We advocate for a broad view of pedagogy and argue that pedagogical researchers can make an important contribution to efforts to increase levels of physical activity through interdisciplinary projects.
