Playing with Research in Health and Physical Education

I am going to do something a bit different. And, if this works, perhaps this is a good way to summarize some research for shorter podcasts.

This podcast is going to utilize ChatPDF, which is an AI website… chatpdf.com It’s fairly straightforward, you take a PDF, drag and drop it into the website, and then ask the AI questions about the article. I’ll caution you at the start, if you use this, it DOES make errors. I know this since I used my own article and could fact check it as I prepared this podcast, with that said, it’s a great tool to overview articles in my opinion IF you check the facts.

I am using my own article today, here it is if you want to read it:

Dr. Kevin Richards talks to Dr. Laura Alfrey from Monash University about her recent article:

An expansive learning approach to transforming traditional fitness testing in health and physical education: student voice, feelings and hopes

This podcast goes behind the research to discuss the what, who, how, and why behind the article production.

This is the audio from the PETE Collaborative from April 2023. We discuss the main issues of PETE as well as where the PETE Collaborative should go from here. If you are interested in getting involved reach out to us via Twitter.

This is the audio from the 2023 AERA SIG 93 Catherine D. Ennis Outstanding Scholar Lecture. The highest award given in the special interest group for PE at the American Educational Research Association each year.

Dr. Ben Dyson gave an in-person lecture in Chicago in April 2023. The audio isn't amazing as I used my cell phone to record it. It particularly loses steam during the questions (if you stick around for those). The introduction is by Dr. Pam Kulinna from Arizona State University. The lecture goes until minute 40, and then questions come up (which are hard to hear).

The next AERA conference is in Philadelphia in April of 2024. 2,000 word abstracts are due mid July 2023. Find out more about our SIG here https://www.aera.net/SIG093/RLIPE-SIG-93 It is a GREAT place to be and to submit your work to.

More information on the award:

Catherine D. Ennis Outstanding Scholar. This award is designed to recognize an outstanding scholar in the field of learning and instruction in physical education. This person’s scholarship has made a significant and consistent impact on the field for at least ten years. This award was re-named for Dr. Catherine D. Ennis in 2018. Dr. Ennis was a longtime member and contributor to SIG 93, and one of the most highly respected scholars in the field of physical education. Dr. Ennis passed away in 2017, and the SIG membership wishes to honor her legacy posthumously.

Risto and Chad sit down to discuss Chad’s recent editorial about how online PE needs to be present to enhance a PE program’s impact in secondary schools

This is the audio from the March 2023 PETE Collaborative session. 

Title: Developing and Sustaining Partnerships in PETE

Whether we are partnering with schools and teachers for research or teaching needs, or joining others in advocacy or other service activities - developing and sustaining partnerships is central to our work. During this PETE Collaborative session, we will learn about various university-involved partnerships and develop strategies so we can continue to develop mutually beneficial partnerships across PETE.

Title: Editor Insights: A Panel of Physical Education Journal Editors

This is audio from a webinar hosted by AERA SIG 93 Research on Learning and Instruction in Physical Education

Time: March 3rd 2023. Here is the list of editors on the panel. 

· Journal of Teaching in Physical Education- Heather Erwin

· Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy- David Kirk

· Quest and Adapted Physical Activity Quarterly- Justin Haegele

· European Physical Education Review- Ken Green

· International Journal of Kinesiology in Higher Education- Jaimie McMullen

Here are the questions we posed to start:

· What are the most common mistakes authors make that lead to extensive revisions or a rejection?

· What constitutes a “Desk Reject” for you/your journal?

· Does your journal have a policy on the use of Artificial Intelligence (e.g., Chat GPT) and it’s use for writing, thought creation, analysis?

· What do you want to see in a “good” journal review?

· What is the process you go through when there are two conflicting reviews (one leans toward accept and another outright rejects)?

· What advice do you have for graduate students and early career researchers who are just beginning to publish articles?

Topic: Tenure and Promotion in PETE

Description: Tenure and Promotions

This session will focus on aspects of the tenure and promotion (T&P) process. We will discuss how to prepare for a tenure review, the nuances of different tenure requirements at different universities, what to think of for full-professor applications and will include insights from administrators on what makes a good T&P application. We will also discuss what goes into a good tenure letter when you are asked to write one for a colleague.

Panelists:

Associate Professor Discussion:

Hillary Robey- Western Washington University- (teaching focused)

Langston Clark- Univ of Texas, San Antonio- (R1)

Full Professor Discussion:

Tao Zhang- University of North Texas- (R1)

Clinical instructor:

Kristi Carlson-University of Illinois Champaign Urbana (R1)

Administrators:

Dr. Kevin Richards host another episode of "going behind the research" this format of podcasts dives deeper into the why, what, and how of research with an individual scholar. This episode interviews Dr. Jen Walton Fisette from Kent State University in Ohio. The episode is around the research leading up to the article below: 

Sue Sutherland & Jennifer L. Walton-Fisette (2022) Intra-active policy work in Ohio: curriculum, pedagogy, and assessment, Curriculum Studies in Health and Physical Education, 13:3, 223-237, DOI: 10.1080/25742981.2022.2104652

Title: Developing Future Faculty Stewards to Ensure a Favorable Future for PETE

Description: This PETE Collaborative session will include a panel of PETE faculty who completed their doctoral training within the past five years. They will share perspectives on their preparation to engage in high quality teaching, knowledge generation, and service in their current positions.  The discussion will aim to foster a greater understanding of the realities of their work and the extent to which their doctoral programs prepared them for success. Special emphasis will be placed on identifying ways to support the development of future faculty members and stewards of the field (and future colleagues) ultimately to promote a favorable future for PETE.

Mrs. Valerie Hauge joins Emily Jones to discuss the topic of social emotional learning, movement, and mindfulness in educational classroom settings. We talk about Mrs. Hauge’s personal and professional journey in deciding to integrate SEL, movement, and mindfulness  into her middle school English classroom. We also discuss her experiences using a variety of SEL and mindfulness resources and strategies with her learners. She shares her perceptive on how SEL, movement, and mindfulness in the classroom has influenced her interactions with learners and their classroom climate and culture towards learning, self-awareness, and self-regulation.

This is the audio recording of the October 2022, AIESEP Connect session. It was held on Friday October 28th 10am Eastern and was a joint session hosted by our AERA SIG 93 in collaboration with AIESEP. This 1hr long session will discussed international research collaborations. The session was  broken up into 3 parts. The first part will heard from Jen Walton-Fisette, Ash Casey, and Javier Arturo Lopez-Hall. These scholars  discussed how they formed successful international research collaborations, how they navigated IRB, language barriers, publishing, research roles and more!

In the second part the audience brought up research questions that would benefit from international collaboration. These were  topics that need to be applied internationally for further understanding, or a potential new international research collaborations.

The final part of the session (which was not recorded) broke the audience up into groups to discuss key issues around 5 topics: Policy, Assessment, Social Justice in PE, Physical Activity, and PETE.
