Kretchmar and Ward (Reading 1)
Summary:
- examines the different subdisciplines of kinesiology and how they would look at the play of stalling
- comes to the conclusion that the best way to instruct a more diverse curriculum is to have students take a more widespread range of courses
Conceptual Clarity
Conceptual Clarity: When concepts are presented in a coherent and straight forward manner to support deeper insight

- biased

What is the role of the Physical Education system?
What is the role of the Physical Education system?
- To enable K-12 students to develop the knowledge and skills needed to live an active and healthy lifestyle
Metaphysics
Metaphysics: is concerned with the nature of things
(Mind and body are separate)
Looks as movement as:
- Work
- Play
What are philosophers of kinesiology interested in?
What are philosophers of kinesiology interested in?
- What leads to a good life (good life is different for everyone)
Dualistic Interpretation
Dualistic Interpretation: Sees the mind and body as separate entities
Problems with this:
- It devalues the individual
