Narrative pedagogy in sport, PETE, and physical education: A scoping review

This article conceptualises narrative pedagogy and surveys the literature investigating its use in sport, physical education teacher education and physical education. A scoping review informed by Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) five-stage framework resulted in the consideration of 13 relevant studies. The following questions were explored: Who conducted these studies? Where and when were these conducted? Why did the authors choose to use narrative pedagogy? How did they do it? Which topics were addressed in the studies? In answering these questions and discussing the answers, this article contributes to mapping the existing literature and identifying gaps for future pedagogical opportunities. It is highlighted that narrative researchers can maximise the social impact of narrative inquiry by translating their findings into narrative pedagogy interventions. The incorporation of new storytelling strategies is suggested as a means to advance the future of narrative pedagogy.
