Abstract
Recent critiques of the discourse or beliefs and practices of physical education have focused on the restrictive ideological assumptions of the subject. However, these critiques in turn have been criticized for rehearsing once more the gap between theory and practice. Drawing on theoretical models external to physical education, a form of discourse analysis is proposed to link critical perspectives and practical concerns in an account of effective teaching and learning in physical education.Keywords
