ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to provide a detailed
analysis of the research literature in physical education for one decade,
including data on the research focus (i.e., teaching, teacher education,
and curriculum). A database of published research and research-based
scholarship was created. Data were coded maintaining 97% or higher
agreement levels. There were 1,8 19 physical education pedagogy research
papers published during 1995-2004 in 94 different journals, including
those that primarily pertain to (a) physical education (56.40%), (b)
kinesiology (30.02%), (c) education and social science (9.35%), and (d)
heath education and medical (4.23%). Papers represented all three focus
areas: teaching (65.31%), curriculum (19.24%), and teacher education (
15.45%). Research in physical education pedagogy has increased each year
since 1995, including a small presence in education and social science
journals as well as health education and medical journals.
