We followed a pre-established literature review protocol to search, identify, screen, and analyze the scholarship related to PE curriculum interventions. The year range of the review was between 1995 and October, 2021. This process yielded 48 articles that met the inclusion criteria, which were synthesized to address the research purposes. We calculated Cohen’s d to quantify the intervention effect sizes on several commonly studied outcomes including physical activity (PA), body composition, physical fitness, motor skill competence, knowledge and cognition, and well-being and social competence. The review revealed an increasing trend for research on PE curriculum interventions between 2009 and 2021 (n = 36) compared to the decade before (n = 12). A majority of these PE interventions involved a control group (n = 41); were conducted in North America (n = 23) and Europe (n = 15); and most were published in health (n = 19) and kinesiology journals (n = 18). The intervention effects on all outcomes combined were small to medium (d = 0.24). Effect sizes for the individual outcome variables of interest were reported separately. The findings with regard to the patterns and intervention efficacy may be useful to guide the design, execution, and evaluation of future PE curriculum interventions.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"78 1","pages":"205 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86191247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Unifying Theory of Physical Activity involves three aspects. First, it frames physical activity as an essential human act resulting from inherent urges: to feel, to explore, to transform and to connect. These urges prelude and compel people's involvement in physical activity and contribute to the meanings and purposes that sustain life and growth. Second, we argue the act of physical activity is made of three conditions. Physical activity possesses a potentiality, and it is distinct and integrated. Third, at the external level, there are social, political, and situated forces that interplay with the urges and shape human experience in/of physical activity. We offer conclusions about how this theory can inform research, policy, and practice about physical education, physical activity and health promotion.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"385 6","pages":"180 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72448219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Attending to the level of epistemology, we go beyond reporting the state of the field to reveal in what ways APA research may or may not be guided by the concerns and needs of the people it is intended to serve and support. Building on the findings, we discuss participatory research and its relevance to APA.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"103 1","pages":"1 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77658802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Educational systems, including physical education teacher education, moved to remote and online teaching modalities almost overnight. This shift, coupled with the cancellation of academic conferences, resulted in many physical education teacher education faculty members feeling isolated and uncertain in their pedagogical approaches. In April 2020, the PETE Collaborative was formed. Initial meetings centered on faculty-related concerns for how to modify content and provide meaningful opportunities for preservice teachers to engage in field experiences during the pandemic. As the community grew, so did the purpose of the Collaborative, which adapted to meet the needs of the members it was established to connect. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to tell the story of the PETE Collaborative, describe its theoretical underpinnings and provide some thoughts for the future of the initiative.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"62 1","pages":"74 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83629124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite important theoretical advances, scholars have called for more research to better develop theoretical understandings of how embedded actors influence institutions. The aim of this paper is to examine how individual actors may engage in relational institutional work within sport organizations through prosocial behaviors. In this paper, the authors outline how prosocial behaviors such as organizational citizenship behaviors, whistleblowing, voice behaviors, mentoring, knowledge-sharing, and brokering introductions may impact the creation, maintenance, and disruption of institutions. Thus, this paper extends the institutional work framework by explicating how daily interactions impact institutionalization within sport settings.","PeriodicalId":49642,"journal":{"name":"Quest","volume":"46 1","pages":"58 - 73"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80596008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
