Waiting for Boyer: A cross-generational dialogue

The following is a one-act play containing a dialogue between two physical education and sport science professors (Metzler, 1994) as they travel back from the 1995 NAPEHE Conference, ''Beyond Scholarship Reconsidered: The Mosaic of Scholarship in Physical Education.'' The play's dialogue is drawn from three major sources: the authors' biographies, their personal opinions regarding Scholarship Reconsidered, and the published professional literature in physical education and the sport sciences. The characters represent two cohorts in faculty: those who are early in their careers and those who have carried out the first half of their careers under the current model of scholarship in higher education.
