摘要:

The last 25 years have witnessed significant changes in the field of physical education in higher education that include the“disciplinarization”of the field of study and the generation of a broader front of professional options for physical activity than the single focus of teacher training. The field of physical education in higher education has not displayed uniformity in reacting to these profession–discipline opportunities and problems, to the extent that chaos reigns throughout. Illustrations of this chaos are provided with respect to defining (a) the field of study, (b) the establishment of a balanced focus of professional and disciplinary training, (c) the activity focus, and (d) the issue of societal representation. It is argued that the field has emphasized the differences rather than the similarities of the potential knowledge subdomains that emerge from the central phenomenon for study: namely, that of physical activity.

摘要:

The traditional knowledge categories, declarative and procedural, are discussed as they relate to the central phenomenon of the field of study, physical activity. The independence of these knowledge categories appears to be dissipating in the light of contemporary analysis of knowledge in a variety of contexts. Furthermore, there is not an isomorphic relation between knowledge types and focuses of physical activity degree programs, whether the degree is labeled disciplinary, professional, or performance. Each programmatic thrust in physical activity uses each knowledge category to some greater or lesser extent. There needs to be a stronger emphasis on the balance of knowledge types in developing undergraduate-degree core programs and on the promotion of broad-based study of physical activity in higher education.

摘要:

Kinesiology is the study of movement or, more generally, the study of physical activity. The term kinesiology meets all the criteria for labeling the academic physical activity domain and has the useful advantage of being neutral in many of the current debates regarding emphases on the disciplinary, professional, or activity dimensions and subsets thereof. The study of physical activity in higher education should uniformly be called kinesiology at the levels of programmatic core, degree title, field of study, and department title.

摘要:

This paper presents a cultural analysis of our field of study through the lens of one word:kinesiology. Through historical, anthropological, and semiological interpretation, the cultural use of the word is discussed within the academic field of physical activity studies in North America. The study of the use, or the philology, ofkinesiologywithin the study of physical activity is traced from its traditionally recognized Greek roots to the present cultural use, which is shown to symbolize the postmodern world. The progression from whichkinesiologyevolved, fist describing a“course of study,”then meaning a broad academic field, is noted. Throughout the term's existence in the field, common motifs associated with its use are highlighted. These motifs include coupling of the modem word to ancient Greek origins; the signification of“action,”“change,”“unique,”and“special”aspects; the use of the word to denote scientific, disciplinary, and academic characteristics; and the appropriation of the word to symbolize integration and wholeness.
