Locke 1977 paper review presentation
- 1. Locke, L. (1977). Research on teaching physical education: New hope for a dismal science. Quest, 28, 2-15. Tyler Goad and Karl Zang
- 2. Review of Physical Education Research • Position Paper: previous trends of Physical Education Research (previous to 1977) • High lights and Low lights • “Locke’s Call to Action”
- 3. Background and Significance • Flaw in research designs and program of studies • Disconnect between theory and practice in PETE • Suggested new trends and programs that should be researched further.
- 4. Review of Literature • The past • The future • The Vision
- 5. Main Arguments • Current research practices in 1977 • Collective resource of literature • Misconceptions of PETE.
- 6. Conclusions for Future Research • Solutions: Locke’s super 8 recommendations • Locke’s ask: “The research and knowledge we have tomorrow need not be like what we have today. We can escape the grim prologue of our past.”
- 7. Questions?
Editor's Notes
- -Lockes position on the current state of PETE research in 77 -pointed out ‘good’ work and programs, “on the right track” -noticed trend of PETE research not scientific based, called field to change purpose behind research -challenged colleagues to produce quality studies to provide quality results
- -FLAW: That research being conducted in PETE is in response to the concerns of teachers and that educators pay any mind to the results of the studies conducted - Locke States it is a common misconception in the field is that research being done is assimilated by teachers into the classroom. - research in physical educationat the time the article was published was , “free from any reference to theories of instruction generated in adjacent disciplines such as education, psychology or sociology” (Locke, p.5).
- The past : Doesn’t cite any specific studies (a call out), but talks about PETE research in generalities result of research not grounded in theory produces studies in which at the end there is nothing left to build from, just the results themselves The Future: Points out recent and current research trends that are headed in the right direction Promising work coming from graduate student research. Developing methods of analyzing teaching observations. The vision: outlines 8 points for future PETE research to consider top down method….won’t get better until the top is fixed (teacher education)
- Current (1970s) research process/design abysmal in terms of furthering knowledge - Available lit has only process/product, no intervention/interaction observations (great when selling a product…not research) -Small sample sizes (65% of studies only employ college students…mostly females). -Replication of research seen as cheating….SLAIN Collective resource: There is no data base for researchers to draw from. -Suggest a newsletter towards the end. Problems: Failure to produce a cumulative and theoretically integrated body of knowledge has resulted in falsehoods. Teaching is a personal art and isn’t subject to analysis or systematic inquiry Teaching motor skills is simple (monkey see monkey do) anyone with common sense can do it. The instruction is irrelevant because of outside factors such as; social context and variance in student achievement
- Failure of previous research conducted that did not directly observe the actions being recorded for use in their studies. Solutions: Need for additional research (give example)? Teacher and pupil behavior Nonverbal component of physical education Creation of standardized observation systems. Teachers college videotape data bank(Anderson,1975) Cheffers (1974) CAFIAS OSU Teacher Behavior Instrument Research on teaching should be described events in detail. All reports contain descriptive stats and the raw data be made available. A catalog of instruments to be used in the gym. Replication must become standard. Immediately deal with problem of research retrieval. Locke suggest a newsletter. The sharing of information between institutions. An adequate descriptive base needs to be established. Evaluation studies need a standardized set of criteria
