2. Type of, purpose of study/paper,
theoretical framework/background
• Qualitative field study combining Sport Ed and
TPSR curricular models
• Schon’s reflective scholarship (1987)
– ‘Schon [1987] contended that the world of practice is
beset with problems not addressed on the high
ground of research’ (Hastie, & Buchanan, 2000).
• Develop theory from practice
– Wading through the swamp

3. Background and significance of
study…what did it report to add?
• Students are exposer to professional sports
outside of class
• Data based analysis on combining TPSR and
Sport Ed curriculum models
• Development of a working theory from
practice

4. Methods/Analysis
• 45 male 11-13yo participants (8 African America, rest
Caucasian) from a southern, rural middle school
• Primary author as teacher/facilitator of combined
model
– Previously taught participants with Sport Ed model
• Second author as independent observer (ethnographic)
– Field notes, informal student interviews, debriefings with
teacher, end of season formal student interviews

5. Analysis Methods
• Observational data transcribed
– Multiple read through with annotations in margins
• Categorized using constant comparison
• Themes developed and organized to reflect
learning outcomes and student attitudes

6. Findings/Main arguments
• Hybrid model developed: Empowering Sport
– Empowers student through game
play/development
– Problem solving through team building and class
collaboration on game development
– Social environment construction developing
personal responsibility by creating awareness of
the impact of actions

7. Conclusions/implications for practice
and/or future research
• Developed the Empowerment Model
• No suggestions made explicitly by the author,
but….

8. Take Away
• I feel like I do this currently, glad to see
someone made it into a research paper.
• Seen many of the fair play scenarios described
in the paper occur in class.
• “Teach the way I coach”

9. Questions?
• Do any of you mesh the curriculum models
you used in undergrad with ones at WVU?
