ABSTRACT
In thinking about research on pedagogy in HMS I was tempted to provide an overview of what had been done and by whom. However, not only has this already been done by many (e.g. Silverman, 1991; Silverman and Ennis, 2003; Siedentop, 2000; O’Sullivan, 2003), including myself (Tinning, 1997), such an overview would not address some aspects that I now think are important in a consideration of research on pedagogy in HMS. Accordingly I have arranged this chapter in three parts. The first presents an autobiographical account of my own research history to share where I have come from. The second part provides my account of the history and traditions of research in sport pedagogy while the third part discusses the research shifts that have come from moving from a faculty of education to a faculty of health science.
