Massengale's "Trends Toward the Future of Physical Education" (1987) makes no reference to the existence of the philosophic inquiry of physical activity within higher education kinesiology programs--even though the sub-discipline had been formalized by academics in the early 1970s. In contrast, Massengale and Swanson's "The History…

Dewey, Interest, and Well-Being: Prospects for Improving the Educational Value of Physical Education
Thorburn, Malcolm; MacAllister, James – Quest, 2013
Despite the current policy prominence of physical education, there is still unease about the subject's educational contribution.

We outline how his writings on connecting the child and the curriculum and schools with…
