Abstract
Researchers who study the teaching of physical education have examined teacher and student behavior using sys tematic observation, teacher feedback to students, the application of principles of motor learning and, more recently, task analysis and the qualitative paradigm. Although research has had limited im pact on the teaching of physical educa tion in the schools to date, Placek and Locke suggest that cautious optimism is now in order due to newly acquired knowledge and a new generation of teacher educators.Keywords
