Abstract
A spectrum of teaching styles was developed in the mid-1960s to create some cohesiveness around
teaching behaviour. The spectrum was designed not with the intent of prescribing specific teaching
practices for the teachers, but as a prompt for teachers to reflect on their teaching activities. This study
analyzed the critical role of pedagogy in the formulation of theories for the teaching of Physical
Education and sports. How people think about pedagogy are underpinned or informed by particular
knowledge paradigms and ways of perceiving the world. The review covered conceptual orientations
on pedagogy from science and didactic perspectives including learning and behaviourism theories.
Briggs (2003) 3p model was adapted; the model examined the interrelationships of presage, process
and product variables in the teaching-learning process. The study concluded that personal development
is a prerequisite for effective teaching because different orientations and approaches exist. Thus, it
could be asserted that teaching theories in physical education and sports are founded on pedagogical
knowledge of teachers, therefore, whatever theory the teacher adopts, the root is traceable to pedagogy.
