Abstract: The curriculum activity initiated during the 1960s to define the structure of
knowledge in physical education (Austin, 1965; Brown, 1967; Brown & Cassidy,
1963; Mackenzie, 1969; Pye & Alexander, 1971; Stanley, 1969; Tillotson,
1969; Ulrich & Nixon, 1972; Vogel, 1969) synthesized the philosophical curriculum
positions of the previous 80 years and provided direction for the future.
In 1963 the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation
began a 4-year sponsorship of the Curriculum Commission, which was responsible
for developing a conceptual framework for physical education and the research
project required for its validation (Aldrich, 1967). Concepts developed in this
project were later modified and expanded by Jewett and her associates (Jewett
& Mullan, 1977).
