ABSTRACT

The students in this course are typically near the end of their professional education sequence, so most have had numerous field experiences. In addition, these physical education majors are not new to me nor I to them, since I have had all of them in a number of other courses. The interesting and unique characteristic of this particular group was that the students were all able-bodied white males. My intention was to bring these 11 young men to the point of being able to genuinely reflect upon their own teaching in such a way as to make meaningful changes in how they perceived their role as teachers. I wanted them to engage in liberatory practice in the gymnasium.
