Abstract

For decades, scholars in physical education pedagogy have done tremendous work to enlighten the research on student learning. Dr. Catherine D. Ennis was one of the leading experts in the past 3 decades (active contributor 1984-2017), who had a monumental impact on learning-related research in physical education. In this article, the authors synthesize Dr. Ennis's scholarship on student learning in physical education, honoring her contributions to the field. They first define learning as a concept and learning in physical education and present how Ennis as a "curriculum specialist" viewed learning. They then cover Ennis's insights and findings that originated from her series of impactful curriculum studies related to student engagement and learning and conclude by sharing lessons learned from Ennis's scholarly wisdom for guiding future research in physical education pedagogy.
