Abstract
The study of instructional time in classrooms and in physical education has a long history with several modifications along the way. Tracing this history, starting with its roots in models of the classroom teaching process, helps to explain why instructional time has gained the interest of so many in physical education. Instructional time is generally studied with the goal of learning more about and improving the teaching process. The historical perspective increases awareness that research on instructional time will be most valuable when integrated with findings from the study of other variables affecting the teaching/learning process in the physical education setting.
